The Race to the Moon
Humanity's sense of wonder, fascination and awe of space is
as old as humanity itself. But our desire to explore the universe
beyond the realms of earth did not take flight until the 1960s.
Following John F. Kennedy's declaration that America would put
a man on the Moon (and return him safely to Earth) by the end
of the 1960s, NASA led the way, placing the USA firmly at the
front of the global race to explore space.
Others may have ventured into the vacuum of space, but it was
on the 20th of July 1969, that a human footprint first made contact
with the surface of the Moon. The landing of the Apollo Lunar
Lander was broadcast live to a global audience. It was a moment
that captivated the world and changed space travel forever.
