What was only one small step 52 years ago, has inspired a lifetime of wonder 🚀 🌕

On July 20, 1969, three astronauts of #Apollo11, Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins, made history. Armstrong and Aldrin became the first humans to walk on the Moon.

On this day, we celebrate the Moon landing and salute the heroes, visionaries and explorers who not only made the seemingly impossible, possible – but inspired us to return.

The @NASAArtemis program aims to take the next giant leap: landing the first woman and first person of color on the Moon – using innovative technologies to explore more of the lunar surface than ever before. In collaboration with our commercial and international partners, we will establish sustainable exploration for the first time, with our sights set on sending astronauts to Mars.
