mans to ever make landfall on another celestial body; 
Whereas on July 20 and 21, 1969, those brave Americans be-
came the first humans to set foot on the surface of the 
Moon, forever changing Earth’s relationship with the 
heavens; 
Whereas this momentous event was watched in wonder by 
hundreds of millions of people back on Earth, including 
the hundreds of thousands of NASA civilian and military 
staff and partners who made the Apollo Program pos-
sible; 
Whereas the Apollo Program continued through December of 
1972 and spurred the greatest development of human sci-
entific and technological understanding of any decade to

Module Pilot Michael Collins; 
Whereas NASA continues to pursue space exploration on be-
half of the American people to increase humankind’s un-
derstanding of the heavens; and 
Whereas the National Air and Space Museum continues to
