What is International Moon Day?

International Moon Day is an annual day dedicated to the Earth’s one and only natural satellite, the Moon!

It is held every year on July 20, which is the anniversary of the day on which astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin famously set foot on the Moon in 1969.

The Moon landing is still considered one of humanity’s greatest achievements.

International Moon Day is all about commemorating the Apollo 11 mission while teaching people about the Moon and astronomy.

Significance of International Moon Day

• The General Assembly declared International Moon Day, a United Nations-designated international day to be observed annually on July 20, in its Resolution 76/76 on “International cooperation in the peaceful uses of outer space” in 2021.

• International Moon Day marks the anniversary of the first landing by humans on the Moon as part of the Apollo 11 lunar mission.

• The celebrations will also consider the achievements of all States in the exploration of the Moon and raise public awareness of sustainable Moon exploration and utilization.

History of International Moon Day

• American astronauts Neil Armstrong, and Edwin ‘Buzz’ Aldrin became the first humans in history to land on the Moon on 20 July 1969.

The grand Apollo 11 mission took place eight years after the national goal announcement by President John F. Kennedy to send a man to the moon by the end of the 1960s.

• The idea for the mission to send astronauts to the moon started when President Kennedy appealed to a special joint session of Congress in 1961, stating:

“I believe this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to Earth.”

• At the time of Kennedy’s proposal, the United States was still head-to-head with the Soviet Union in advancements in space exploration and, since it was during the time of the Cold War, the proposal was welcomed.

The first unmanned Apollo mission was initiated by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), after five years of effort and hard work by their international team of engineers and scientists.

The first mission served as a testing phase for the structural resilience of the launch spacecraft vehicle.

• At 9:32 A.M. on 16 July 1969, the whole world witnessed Apollo 11 take off from Kennedy Space Center with three astronauts on board — Neil Armstrong, Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin, and Michael Collins.

Neil Armstrong was the commander of the mission.

The spacecraft entered the lunar orbit after three days, on July 19.

The lunar module, Eagle, disengaged from the main command module the next day, manned by Armstrong and Aldrin.

When Eagle touched the lunar surface, Armstrong radioed his historical message to Mission Control in Houston, Texas:

“The Eagle has landed.”

• At 10:39 P.M., Armstrong exited the lunar module and made his way down its ladder.

His progress was being recorded by a television camera attached to the module, transmitting signals back to Earth, where the world was watching with bated breath.

• At 10:56 P.M., Armstrong stepped on the moon’s powdery surface, and spoke his iconic words:

“That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.”

The ambassador of the terrorist Jewish Israel to the UN during the General Assembly destroyed the organization's Charter with a paper shredder. The reason was that the General Assembly voted overwhelmingly in favor of Palestinian membership.

🇺🇳 — YES!! — of course US and IsraHell voted again it!!

By: Mohammed Umair, Founder @Synchronus — Leadership, from LinkedIn …

“The vote at the UN General Assembly to back the granting of "new rights and privileges" to the State of Palestine has paved a pathway for Palestine to achieve full UN member status.

The resolution calls on the Security Council to reconsider the request for Palestine to become the 194th member of the United Nations. The United States vetoed a Security Council resolution on 18 April that would have paved way for full membership.

Palestine's permanent observer to the UN, Riyad Mansour, spoke of a day when Palestine "takes its rightful place among free nations".

#FreePalestine … #UnitedNations … 🇺🇳

UN General Assembly president: The UN Security Council remains unable to maintain international peace and security

The president of the 78th session of the UN General Assembly said on Thursday that the UN Security Council was failing in its responsibility to maintain international peace and security.

Dennis Francis’ remarks came during a session on Council reform at the UN General Assembly, during which he noted that conflicts and wars continue to spread in many parts of the world. Francis emphasised that the UN was “paralysed” in confronting these challenges because of divisions within the UN Security Council. He said:

During this major transformation, the UN Security Council remains dangerously unable to fulfill its basic duty to maintain international peace and security.

Francis stressed that unless there is structural reform in the Council, the credibility of the entire United Nations, not just the Security Council, will be in question.

The main purpose of the United Nations, established 75 years ago, on 24 October 1945, after the end of the Second World War, is the maintenance of international peace and security.
