Our Apollo program captured the world’s attention and demonstrated the power of America’s vision and technology.

It all began when President John F. Kennedy issued a national objective to send humans to the moon within a decade.

After several preliminary missions and rigorous training, the Apollo 11 crew prepared to set foot on the Moon.

Not even 7 years after President John F. Kennedy’s directive, the Saturn V rocket was rolled out for the momentous journey.

Crowds gathered and audiences around the world tuned in.

The Apollo 11 crew launched from Kennedy Space Center in Florida on July 16, 1969.

After a 3-day trip, Neil Armstrong’s “one small step for a man and one giant leap for mankind” was made on July 20, 1969.

Mission Control teams in Houston, Texas eagerly watched as history was made but remained ready to assist the crew.

They left a memento but brought back souvenirs of more than 47 pounds of moon rocks for further research!

These journeys are no longer just tales of the past. Our Artemis Program is set to return humans to the Moon.

And this time we're not making history alone! We're working with international and commercial partners.

In the next 5 years, our Artemis Program will push the boundaries of human lunar exploration like never before

With our goal of sending humans to Mars, Artemis will pave the way & is the first step to begin this next era of exploring.
