Zero Halliburton, known for its aluminum briefcases, has introduced two new limited edition technical cases inspired by the containers that were used to return the first lunar samples to Earth in July 1969. "Our cases have accompanied some of the greatest voyages in history — none more significant than NASA's Apollo 11 mission to the moon," said Tom Nelson, Zero Halliburton's Global President and CEO, in a statement. "As we prepare for the next generation of epic travel feats, we decided to celebrate America's triumph and pay homage to the case that solidified our legendary durability with a limited anniversary edition."

The containers were also not Zero Halliburton's sole doing; the company helped, but the cases were modified and prepared for NASA by Union Carbide. quote: Originally posted by dsenechal: ...the little Apollo sticker on the side. I believe that is an engraving rather than a decal.
