Just days later, Armstrong would take his historic first step on the lunar surface, declaring, “That’s one small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind.” Credentials like this were issued to VIPs, NASA personnel, and select guests, making them rare relics of the most iconic moment in space exploration history.
