Dear Moon, Thank you for the memories. We’ll see you again soon. 🌙 #WeAreGoing

50 years ago today, Gene Cernan became the last person to stand on the Moon. Before his return to the #Apollo17 lunar module, he said: “We leave as we came and, God willing, as we shall return, with peace and hope for all mankind. Godspeed the crew of Apollo 17.” #Apollo50th

"That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind." 50 years ago #OTD, Neil Armstrong took a step onto the Moon and made the people of Earth a multi-world species. Happy #Apollo50th and keep on exploring.

"Armstrong is on the Moon! Neil Armstrong, a thirty-eight-year-old American, standing on the surface of the Moon! On this July twentieth, nineteen hundred and sixty-nine." Millions heard Walter Cronkite announce these words with tears in his eyes, exactly 50 years ago.
