We're going around the Moon. Come watch with us. Artemis II's four-astronaut crew is lifting off from @NASAKennedy on an approximately 10-day mission that will bring us closer to living on the Moon and Mars. The launch window opens at 6:24pm ET (2224 UTC). https://t.co/X27QJejNDt

100 years ago TODAY!
March 12, 1926, Robert Goddard launched the world’s first liquid-propellant rocket. It reached just 41ft but he believed a rocket could hit the Moon

Exactly 40 years later, #OTD 1966, Neil Armstrong completed the world's first docking in space on Gemini VIII

My respect for Sri Lanka went up immensely.

It is not a developed western country. In fact 100 Indian Rupees gets 330 SL Rupees. You have an advantage.

But the civic sense, customer service, cleanliness, driving sense... Outstanding! Even remote roads are well maintained.

July 20, 1969. “Contact light, engine stop.” The Apollo 11 lunar module Eagle touched down at Tranquility Base on the Moon.
A few hours later, Neil Armstrong and I stepped foot on the Moon, with Michael Collins orbiting close-by.
An achievement resulting from years of incalculable effort, commitment, and team work.
We all did our part to see President Kennedy’s words become reality: “We choose to go to the Moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard; because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one we intend to win, and the others too.”
I couldn’t be prouder to have completed this mission with the hundreds of thousands of people that helped get us to the moon and back home. God bless the USA and all of humankind.
