Need to all look at the Moon tonight at 9.17pm BST, the exact anniversary of the Apollo 11 landing (20th July 1969).
Not to observe but to admire what we did 55 years ago, and what our presence on the Moon will be like in 55 years time. ๐
#Apollo11#MoonLandings
๐ #OnThisDay in 1969 Apollo 11 landed on the Moon. Astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin became the first humans to walk on the lunar surface, whilst Michael Collins piloted the Command Module in lunar orbit.
Discover more about this amazing story @spacecentre this weekend.
