Earlier this week—
Sunday, July 20, 2014—marked the
45th anniversary of Apollo 11’s Moon Walk, the American spaceflight that landed the
first humans on the Earth’s Moon’s surface.
The event’s success triggered a great many technological advances that
still impact our lives today and has also helped to provide greater
understanding of how our
Solar System was formed.
To honor and recognize this historical achievement in space
exploration,
Davis Library, here at the
University of Rio Grande/Rio GrandeCommunity College, is highlighting some sites and resources related to the
National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the
Apollo Missions.
