Fifty years ago on Saturday, July 20, Neil Armstrong took “one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind,” and became the first man to step foot on the moon.
Half a century later, you can celebrate the monumental accomplishment by spending time in a spaceship of your own.
Airbnb is offering stays in five different spaceship-inspired homes for just $11 per night in honor of the anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing. Starting between 8 and 9 a.m. on the 20th, interested guests can book a selection of nights in August, September, October, and November at the discounted rate.
From a hand-made tiny house that is a recreation of Apollo 11 itself to one that looks just like a UFO, there are plenty of cool spots from which you can explore the night sky for a bargain price.
