On July 20, 1969, millions of people across the globe watched two men set foot on another world for the first time. Forty-four years later, as we reflect on the impact the first Moon landing had on our country, a panel of experts from the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum will be available for a special online question-and-answer session. This Reddit "Ask Me Anything" discussion will answer your questions about the Apollo mission, the history of the early space program, and what it’s like to work at the National Air and Space Museum. The panel will include curators Allan Needell and Cathy Lewis, museum specialist Jennifer Levasseur, and museum conservator Lisa Young. We look forward to receiving lots of thought-provoking questions!

Astronaut Buzz Aldrin, lunar module pilot, walks on the surface of the Moon near the leg of the Lunar Module (LM) "Eagle" during the Apollo 11 extravehicular activity (EVA). Astronaut Neil A. Armstrong, commander, took this photograph with a 70mm lunar surface camera. While astronauts Armstrong and Aldrin descended in the Lunar Module (LM) "Eagle" to explore the Sea of Tranquility region of the Moon, astronaut Michael Collins, command module pilot, remained with the Command and Service Modules (CSM) "Columbia" in lunar orbit.
