United in Space- Neil Armstrong Sculptures

We are seeking funding to create two identical bronze sculptures of Neil Armstrong to commemorate this achievement. This video documents what we are doing. 

The sculpture design depicts a life-sized Neil Armstrong walking confidently, helmet in hand. The base of the sculpture, textured like the moon holds his famous footprint and is inscribed with his quote - "One small step for man, One giant leap for mankind."
Why are we creating two identical sculptures?

Well, there are designated places in America and Russia that are awaiting their arrival.
One of the life-size bronze sculptures will be placed in the United States, at the Space Center in Houston , Texas.
And an identical sculpture will be placed at Ethnomir,  a park located just outside Moscow, in Russia.

United in Space
The United States and Russia have found a partnership and friendship in space. This project celebrates camaraderie and mutual achievements by commemorating our astronauts and cosmonauts.

Sophya Tabarovsky is leading this project.  She is the director of the not for profit organization, Kindness Without Limit s, and has hired Houston artist Bridgette Mongeon to sculpt the life-sized Neil Armstrong. Mongeon has already put together a miniature model and is excited to take the sculpture to its full size in bronze.

The historical development of this project is quite interesting.
In 2012 The Dialogue of Cultures Foundation - Ethnomir out of Russia donated a sculpture of cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin to the United States. Tabarovsky was influential in getting it  installed alongside a panel of John Glenn at the first Nasa headquarters, now the home of Houston Parks and Recreation In Houston, Texas
Taborovsky hoped to see a sculpture of America's Neil Armstrong placed on Russian soil, in return —and with this, the United in Space project began.



We need your help to see these sculptures created, delivered and installed in their final homes as we celebrate being United in Space.
