Forty five years after Neil Armstrong created history by becoming the first human being to step on the moon's surface, his bag of souvenirs belonging to the first lunar landing has become a national spotlight.
Among the items discovered by Armstrong's widow, Carol, while cleaning out their suburban Cincinnati home in August 2012 is a 16mm movie camera that recorded the moment that Armstrong took his first step on the moon.
The items were aboard Apollo 11's lunar module, Eagle, which became popular for being the first manned spacecraft to land on the moon.
Carol got in touch with National Air and Space Museum to let them know about her discovery in June 2013, said the museum's Allan Needell.
