Houston, the eagle has landed!
July is an exciting month as we celebrate the 50th anniversary of Apollo 11 and astronaut Neil Armstrong’s first steps on the Moon. As Houstonians, we should feel proud of our city’s historic role in developing human spaceflight.

Earlier this week, Mayor Turner had the privilege to represent you and Ring the Closing Bell at the nyse in honor of the city of Houston’s significant ties to the mission launch. He led a Greater Houston Partnership delegation as they promoted business opportunities in Houston.

Join us in honoring our nasa heroes this weekend. A web search will help you find plenty of exciting activities and here are two to consider. discoverygreen will host a free event on Saturday, July 20: A Giant Leap - Houston Celebrates the 50th anniversary of the Moon Landing 
Also on Saturday, spacecenterhou will host a celebration featuring space-themed experiences and a reenactment of the mission countdown.

Houston leads the world in space exploration, medicine, energy and much more. Houston will always be the threshold for ideas and solutions that provide the answers for a better tomorrow.

As we salute the past, let’s look forward to the next giant steps for mankind and more amazing accomplishments from NASA.

Here are a few images from this week's #Apollo50 events at the NYSE.
