Cum s-au făcut primii paşi pe Lună – GALERIE FOTO

Pe 20 iulie 2019 se împlinesc 50 de ani de la prima aselenizare.

În urmă cu o jumătate de secol, Neil Armstrong făcea primii paşi pe Lună.

Tot atunci a rostit şi celebra frază: “Un pas mic pentru om, un salt uriaş pentru umanitate”.

Din misiunea Apollo 11 făceau parte trei persoane, Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin şi Michael Collins.

Doar doi dintre cei astronauți, Neil Armstrong și Edwin „Buzz” Aldrin, au pășit pe Lună.

NASA a publicat pe contul de Instagram o serie de fotografii şi clipuri video care marchează unul dintre cele mai importante momente din istoria umanităţii.

The Apollo 11 crewmembers were welcomed home as the only Earthlings who had touched another land as they splashed down in the Pacific Ocean on July 24, 1969. After greeting their families and President Richard Nixon from their quarantine unit, they were paraded through the streets of Houston, and their souvenirs of more than 47 pounds of moon rocks were prepared for further research.

The Apollo 50th anniversary celebrations are no longer just a tale of the past, we are preparing to send humans to the Moon again in the next 5 years with our Artemis program. This time, we won’t go alone, and the Moon is no longer the final destination. We will make the journey with government, industry, and international partners in a global effort to build and test the systems needed for sending astronauts on challenging missions to Mars and beyond.
