NASA is hosting a variety of events which will be televised on the space agency's own TV channel to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the first moon landing.
The 50th anniversary of the historic Apollo 11 moon landing is approaching and to celebrate NASA is hosting a variety of events in several locations across the country, as well as broadcasting a series of special programs on the space agency's own TV channel.
Just four days later, the mission made history when Armstrong and Aldrin landed the Lunar Module Eagle on the surface of the moon and took the first human steps there, while Collins remained alone in orbit piloting the Command Module Columbia. "[This will be] followed by a visit to the Launch Control Center and Firing Room 1 to connect with Apollo-era launch controllers and those who will launch the Artemis missions that are part of America's Moon to Mars approach for human space exploration."
On July 20 itself, NASA TV will be celebrating by replaying the original broadcast of the lunar landings from 1969—which includes the touch down of the Lunar Module and Armstrong taking his first steps on the moon.
