On July 20, 1969, the three astronauts of Apollo 11, Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins, made their historic trip. Astronauts Armstrong and Aldrin became the first humans to set foot on a planetary surface other than Earth.⁣ ⁣ With the #Artemis missions, we look to follow the steps of our predecessors and build upon their legacy by exploring the Moon and establishing it as a gateway to explore Mars and beyond.⁣ ⁣ Today we celebrate their achievement with #InternationalMoonDay, which in 2021, the UN General Assembly declared would signify “International cooperation in the peaceful uses of outer space.” Credit: NASA Alt Text: Buzz Aldrin walks on the surface of the moon near a leg of the Lunar Module during the Apollo 11 extravehicular activity (EVA).
