Greetings from the International Space Station,

2
00:00:02,210 --> 00:00:07,940
I'm Expedition 40 Commander Steve Swanson of NASA with my NASA crewmate Reid Weissman.

3
00:00:07,940 --> 00:00:12,429
When Apollo 11 landed on the moon 45 years ago, this space station that we live and work

4
00:00:12,429 --> 00:00:18,280
on was science fiction but today it is reality
thanks to the legacy of the Apollo astronauts

5
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:22,290
and all the nations who have followed the
path into space since then.

6
00:00:22,290 --> 00:00:27,250
It's our pleasure to see 16 sunrises and sunsets each day and it's a humbling experience to

7
00:00:27,250 --> 00:00:32,000
view the earth and how fragile our planet
appears in the vast blackness of space.

8
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:37,370
Today, we would like to salute the Apollo
11 Crew. 45 years ago Neil Armstrong, Buzz

9
00:00:37,370 --> 00:00:42,649
Aldrin and Michael Collins embarked on humanity's boldest journey. Apollo 11 not only achieved

10
00:00:42,649 --> 00:00:46,979
its mission to perform a manned lunar landing and return safely to earth, it raised the

11
00:00:46,979 --> 00:00:51,249
bar of human potential.  Here on the International Space Station, we

12
00:00:51,249 --> 00:00:55,749
are learning how to live and work in space
for longer periods of time. As we prepare

13
00:00:55,749 --> 00:01:01,219
for our next giant leap, to explore an asteroid, and to visit Mars. Like the station itself,

14
00:01:01,219 --> 00:01:05,970
those big missions will require the expertise and collaboration of many nations. We're privileged
