Motorola is offering a moon-themed special edition of its high-end Aura probably to celebrate its 40th anniversary of being the radio transponder aboard the Apollo 11 that relayed the first words and visuals from the moon to Earth. It's called the Celestial Edition and it's extremely exclusive. The first phone of the edition is going straight to Neil Armstrong and aptly so. It features original NASA content from the moon landing, including video footage, stills, and sound files of such immortal lines as "the eagle has landed" and "that's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind".

Along with this, you will find a laser etched quote saying, "Motorola AURA Celestial Edition, Honouring the Apollo 11 mission, 20th July 1969". You can buy this out of the world phone from early July to the end of the year. There's no word on pricing yet, however it'll be more expensive than the original Aura.
