“That’s one small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind” – Neil Armstrong
These lines become famous after the incident. All the three astronauts safely returned to Earth on July 25, 1969. This was a great achievement for mankind. And this success awarded to mankind was a milestone for Nasa.

NASA’s Declaration
We all live in a dominating male society where women don’t get all that they want and deserve. To maintain the equality between both the genders, NASA has declared that they are working on Apollo’s sister and will send female astronauts to the moon. So that woman can step on the moon for the very first time. Though the lady who will be awarded, this great opportunity is still a suspense.
But cheers to this thinking and initiative!!
