National Moon Day | International Space Station

U.S. Astronaut Ricky Arnold: "Across thousands of years and miles of empty space, the moon’s gentle tether to the human heart endures."

"It's National Moon Day! History was made 49 years ago today when the first humans set foot on the Moon during Apollo 11. Watched live on television by a worldwide audience, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin went where no one had gone before."
