LOS ANGELES — A California preservation panel took the unusual step Friday of naming the Apollo 11 moon landing site as a state historical resource.

The vote by the California State Historical Resources Commission is part of a five-state effort to have Tranquility Base become a national historic landmark and then a world heritage site.

The designation applies to everything left there by astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin after they landed July 20, 1969, not to the lunar surface.
