Dear earthlings!
Happy International Aviation and Cosmonautics Day! This is a special day - the day of the triumph of science and all those who work in the space industry. We are enjoying the beauty of the Moon and waiting for you to come! And today, on April 12, to celebrate the holiday, we will organize all kinds of events on the moon - conferences, scientific and educational lectures and seminars, film screenings and much more. After all, this is a common holiday, connecting the past, present and future of the people of Earth and the Moon. Let's remember the the most remarkable events in cosmonautics history of the last century:
- On April 12, 1961, the USSR pilot-cosmonaut Yury Alekseevich Gagarin made the world's first flight into space.
- On July 20, 1969, American astronauts landed on the Moon. Three American astronauts participated in that famous expedition: Neil Armstrong, Edward Aldrin and Michael Collins.
- The first internationally crewed space mission in the history of cosmonautics took place on July 15, 1975. It involved a Soviet Soyuz-19 and an American Apollo spacecrafts.
- And we are determined to continue! We will keep exploring the space!.
Today, our Constellation lunar rover will take an honorary lap across the Moon's surface. Hooray!
