In July 1969, National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) invited Rauschenberg to the Kennedy Space Center in Florida to observe the launching of Apollo 11, which culminated in the first landing of men on the Moon on July 20, 1969. As a commemoration of this historic event, he produced a series of 33 prints he called the Stoned Moon series. In addition to using his own images, Rauschenberg worked with photographs and other material supplied by NASA. The project, which was took nearly a year to complete, was completed at Gemini G.E.L. in Los Angeles.
