Apollo 11 moon site named California historical resource
"On Friday, California became the first state to register the items at Tranquility Base as an official State Historical Resource.
"The unanimous vote by the eight-member California State Historical Resources Commission is part of a five-state effort to have Tranquility Base become a national historic landmark and then a world heritage site.
"Texas is part of that effort, along with New Mexico, Alabama and Florida — the other states highly involved in the Apollo program.
"Some scientists want to have Tranquility Base designated a U.N. World Heritage Site in advance of what they believe will be unmanned trips to the moon by private groups, and even someday by tourists."
