One small step.⁣ ⁣ On this day, Apollo 11 became the first mission to land human beings on the lunar surface. Commander Neil Armstrong and lunar module pilot Edwin (Buzz) Aldrin Jr. descended in the lunar module "Eagle" on July 20, 1969, to explore the Sea of Tranquility region of the Moon. Armstrong and Aldrin spent 21 hours, 36 minutes on the lunar surface running experiments, collecting lunar rock and dust samples, and leaving behind items such as a silicon disk containing goodwill messages from 73 countries. Meanwhile, command module pilot Michael Collins orbited the Moon, taking photographs and communicating with the crew below and mission control teams back on Earth.⁣ ⁣ Today, we’re building on the legacy and lessons learned of Apollo as we establish a long-term infrastructure for human exploration with NASAArtemis. The #Artemis II crew consists of NASAAstronauts Astro_Reid, AstroVicGlover, and Astro_Christina and CanadianSpaceAgency astronaut AstroJeremy.⁣ ⁣ Image description...
