On this day in 1969, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed on the Moon, becoming the first humans to step foot on another world.
As Armstrong stepped off the LM at 10:56 PM EDT, he spoke those now famous words, “That’s one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind.”
Houston has been part of every step humans have taken toward the Moon. 🌕
International Moon Day celebrates the achievements that began with Apollo and continue through Artemis. For more than 50 years, Johnson Space Center has trained astronauts, built mission operations, and supported the systems that make lunar exploration possible. Today, JSC teams continue shaping missions that will return humans to the Moon and prepare us for journeys deeper into our solar system.
"That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind."
#OTD in 1969, Neil Armstrong took the first steps on the Moon. Today, that spirit of exploration continues as @NASA prepares to return astronauts to the lunar surface.
The next giant leap is right around the corner.
🌕 Happy International Moon Day!
On this day in 1969, Neil Armstrong took humanity's first steps on the Moon. Today, through the Artemis program, we're building on that legacy.

.@margbrennan spoke twice with Sen. Lindsey Graham by phone from Ukraine on Friday, where he had just met with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
Graham said the Trump administration had finally given Congress the green light to move forward on his bipartisan Russia sanctions bill — an effort he considered one of his most important.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Sunday that he was "deeply saddened" by news of the death of Lindsey Graham, calling the longtime Republican senator a "true defender of freedom," a "staunch advocate" for Ukraine and a "determined leader." https://t.co/ScrtCINc9r
I am saddened to learn of the passing of my former colleague, Senator Lindsey Graham. He was full of wit, energy, and charm, and he cared deeply about the Senate and the people of South Carolina. Doug and I are sending our thoughts and our prayers to his friends and loved ones.
Senator Jeanne Shaheen, a co-sponsor of Graham’s Russia sanctions bill, calls on Congress to pass the bill:
“There can be no more fitting memorial to Lindsey, his legacy, or the causes he fought for than to pass this legislation and realize his long-held dream of an independent and secure Ukraine.”
US Senator Lindsey Graham, a staunch ally of Ukraine, passed away on Saturday evening following a brief and sudden illness.
Just days prior, Graham had visited Ukraine to inspect the SkyFall defense tech facility and its advanced drones.

He fought for tough sanctions on russia and military aid for Ukraine.
A true friend of Ukraine.
Rest in peace, Senator.

America had a choice on its 250th birthday.
New York and Boston filled their streets with tall ships, fireworks, history, and millions celebrating the country we aspire to be.
Washington?
The headlines weren't about unity. They were about Trump's campaign-style rally and a masked Patriot Front march through the nation's capital.
One America celebrated our founding.
The other reminded the world how easily extremists hijack the spotlight.
That's not a coincidence.
