The Moon Will Be Landing in Jacksboro Texas. Back to Space (BTS) and the Aldrin Foundation are planning a Guinness World Book of Records, 254,447 square foot map of the Moon on Hwy 59, north of town. Bus loads of kids and tourist from around the world will be able to come to this Jacksboro destination to explore and walk on the Moon!
