EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic photograph captures the iconic image of the plaque left on the surface of the moon by the first human visitors in July 1969. The metal plaque, bearing the signatures of astronauts Neil Armstrong, Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin, and Michael Collins, as well as a message from then-President Richard Nixon, reads "We came in peace for all mankind." This poignant reminder of humanity's pioneering spirit and achievement in space exploration was set on the lunar surface during the Apollo 11 mission, marking a significant milestone in the race to set foot on the moon. The United States, represented by the US President, took the lead in this groundbreaking endeavor, with Armstrong and Aldrin becoming the first and second men to walk on the moon, while Collins orbited above in the Command Module. This photograph is a testament to the determination, courage, and ingenuity of the human spirit, and serves as a reminder of the incredible progress made in space exploration since that historic day in 1969.
