Moon Day

Every July 20, we celebrate National Moon Day, marking the historic moment when Neil Armstrong first stepped onto the moon in 1969. With his iconic words, "That"s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind," Armstrong became the first human to walk on the moon, followed by Buzz Aldrin.
