On July 20, 1969, Apollo 11 astronauts Neil Armstrong  AND  Buzz Aldrin became  ones   first  humans  for you to  set foot  on the  moon.

Forty-five  a long time  later, NASA  can  celebrate  from  Monday  ones  giant leap  by  honouring Armstrong,  who  died  in  2012,  which has a  renaming ceremony  of a  historic "operations  IN ADDITION TO  checkout building"  from  Cape Canaveral  within  Florida,  ones   intro  site.

Both Aldrin  AND ALSO  Michael Collins,  your current  Apollo 11 command module pilot  exactly who  orbited  your own  moon,  is actually  there.

"It  was  45  several years  ago  This  Neil Armstrong took  ones  small step  on top of   ones  surface  of the  moon  That  changed  your own  course  of  history.  your current   years   This  followed saw  an  space age  involving  scientific, technological  AND ALSO  human research  from   that will   i  have  made   your current  modern era," NASA said  within   a  statement.

The Apollo missions blazed  an  path  for  human exploration  to the  moon  AS WELL AS  today,  my partner and i   are generally  extending  The idea  path  in order to  near-Earth asteroids, Mars  IN ADDITION TO  beyond,  The item  added.

To send humans  to help  deep space, NASA engineers  are  developing  a fresh  space transportation capability destined  in order to  travel far beyond Earth.

The Orion spacecraft  AS WELL AS  Space  launch   technique  (SLS) heavy-lift rocket  is the   most  advanced space vehicles ever built.

"Around 2019,  we   will certainly   introduction   the  robotic mission  for you to  rendezvous  with a  near-Earth asteroid.  your own  spacecraft  will certainly  either capture  the  asteroid  or maybe  retrieve  an  boulder off  of an  much larger asteroid  and then  redirect  ones  asteroid mass  to help   an   Firm  orbit  In regards to the  moon,"  the   people  apace agency said.

In  your current  mid 2020s, astronauts aboard  your  Orion spacecraft,  unveiled   coming from  SLS,  will probably  explore  That  asteroid  IN ADDITION TO  return  for you to  Earth  throughout  samples.

In December 2014, NASA  can be  set  for you to   perform   your own   1st  test flight  connected with  Orion.

In 2015,  your  "New Horizons" mission  will certainly  fly  via  Pluto  AND   view   ones  icy world up close  for its   initial  time.

"In 2020,  i   will probably  send  a fresh  rover  to be able to  Mars,  to help  follow  at the  footsteps  regarding  Curiosity, search  regarding   evidence of  life  AND ALSO  pave  ones  way  intended for  future human explorers," NASA announced
