[b]Date:[/b] Monday, July 20, 2009 [b]Location:[/b] Knight TV Studio, Level 3 [b]Time:[/b] 2 p.m. On July 20, 1969, as he became the first human to walk on the moon, astronaut Neil Armstrong uttered the famous phrase, "That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind." Fellow astronaut Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin followed Armstrong onto the lunar surface before the two rejoined crew member Michael Collins. The Apollo 11 mission — one of the world’s most significant achievements — had fulfilled President. Kennedy’s 1961 challenge to the nation: send an American safely to the moon before the end of the decade. To commemorate the 40th anniversary of this historic flight, the Newseum will host a special program on the future of space discovery. The July 20 program is the only public event honoring Apollo 11’s anniversary and NASA’s ongoing exploration of space. Veteran journalist Nick Clooney moderates a panel discussion with Aldrin, Alan Bean of Apollo 12, Charlie Duke of Apollo 16, John Grunsfeld, of the recent Hubble mission, and Goddard Space Flight Center deputy director Laurie Leshin. The discussion will air on NASA TV and will be simulcast to science centers across the United States. A question-and-answer session will follow the program.
