greetings from the International Space
Station I'm NASA astronaut nick hague
along with my nasa crew mate
christina cook as we conduct world-class
research on this orbital laboratory we
are also celebrating the 50th
anniversary of humankind's most epic
achievement Apollo 11s historic lunar
landing and the first footprints on
another celestial body by Neil Armstrong
and Buzz Aldrin as we think back on this
achievement 50 years ago we remember the
drive and sacrifice by the flight teams
engineers astronauts and many others
that allowed the dream of Americans
landing on the moon
by the end of that decade to become a
reality at that moment the world was one
awestruck by that accomplishment we are
in that time again as we approach the
20th anniversary of a permanent human
presence on the International Space
Station working hard to return humans to
the moon in 2024 through the Artemis
program we've learned so much more about
human spaceflight since Apollo 11 we've
learned how to build laboratories in
space we've learned how to work and how
to live in space paving the road for
future deep space exploration the legacy
of the Apollo program is enduring and
will guide us on our future endeavours
in space so on behalf of the crew of the
International Space Station we hope
you'll join us in celebrating the 50th
anniversary of that giant leap for all
mankind as we look towards the next
giant leap on our endless journey to the
stars
you
