July 20th being the International Moon Day, NASA reminded the world of the Apollo 11 mission recalling how it was the first time humans stepped on a surface other than earth.
The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter recorded the clip. It has been exploring the moon since 2009 and has sent back 1.4 petabytes of data – more than any other mission ever has.
On August 29, NASA plans to launch the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket and Orion spacecraft.
