50-years ago today, on July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong and Edwin (Buzz) Aldrin set foot on the Moon, while Michael Collins circled overhead in the Columbia. The goal of getting to the Moon by the end of the decade and returning safely to the Earth had been set by President John F. Kennedy on May 25, 1961, only 20-days after the first American (Alan B. Shepard) had flown in space. Approximately 400,000 employees and 20,000 industrial firms and universities worked together to make this goal a reality.
Imagine what we could accomplish if we worked together that well again today!
