>National Space Society Press Release

>38 years ago today, the human race took a "giant leap" forward as Neil
>Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin became the first human beings ever to set foot
>on another celestial body. On July 20, 1969, six hours after landing,
>the astronauts stepped off of the "Eagle" Lunar Module and onto the
>surface of the moon. The Apollo 11 mission, the first-ever manned
>mission to the moon, fulfilled President John F. Kennedy's hopes that
>"this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this
>decade is out, of landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to
>the earth."
>
>This extraordinary achievement represented the best of humankind and the
>best of America. It was a moment that we could all be proud of, no
>matter where we lived or what we did. The world stopped and watched as
>Buzz and Neil changed the way we thought about the future and brought
>the world together.
>
>The National Space Society joins together on this day to remember the
>achievements of our space efforts and to look forward to the
>achievements to come. To show your support for space and this milestone
>anniversary, we encourage you to sign a petition establishing July 20 as
>a national Space Exploration Day

>Also, be on the lookout this fall for a film entitled, 'In the Shadow of

>includes interviews with Apollo astronauts Dave Scott, John Young,
>Charlie Duke, Al Bean, Mike Collins, Buzz Aldrin, Ed Mitchell, Gene

>NSS will be supporting a series of promotional screenings in selected
