Friday 13th might be scary for some, but it’s going to be pretty awesome in Switzerland: astronauts Alexey Leonov and Buzz Aldrin will be in Lausanne to share their experience and tell what it’s like to set foot on the Moon at ‘The Moon Race’ historical evening on Friday, November 13.

Friday’s event is organized by SWISSAPOLLO. “Between 1969 and 1972 twelve humans set foot upon the moon during the American Apollo program. Who were these men? What efforts went into achieving this audacious dream?” – reads their website. Buzz Aldrin, Alexey Leonov and others will be answering precisely these questions.

And what’s Friday night without a movie?

Leonov made history on March 18, 1965 when he exited the Voskhod 2 spacecraft and became the first man to walk in space. He was out of the capsule for 12 minutes. A decade later, he flew aboard the Soyuz 19 spacecraft for the Apollo-Soyuz flight – the first collaboration between the Soviet Union and the US, in which crews conducted experiments together.

Aldrin made headlines of his own on July 20, 1969, piloting the lunar module during NASA's Apollo 11 mission – the first moon landing in history. Aldrin was the second person to walk on the moon, strolling its surface for two minutes and 15 seconds. The infamous moment was not Aldrin's first trip into outer space. His first trip was aboard the Gemini 12 spacecraft in 1963.

Although their space days are well behind them, their memories will be retold at the sold-out SWISSAPOLLO event, during which 3,000 people will be lucky enough to learn about the Space Race from those who played leading roles in the historic rivalry.
