Apollo Coffee Table lands with Buzz Aldrin
This table is inspired by the landing pod used in the first Moon landing in 1969. To make the piece, the sculptor visited NASA to view the original lunar landing pod and met with Buzz Aldrin. The glass is inscribed with Neil Armstrong’s famous statement made on 20 July 1969, “That is one small step for (a) man, one giant leap for mankind.”
Mark made a special table for Buzz Aldrin, the glass on his particular Apollo table has “Magnificent desolation” inscribed (the first words he spoke when he walked on the moon) rather than the Neil Armstrong quote. His table has been displayed in the Smithsonian Museum in the past.
