Pomwe Neil Armstrong adatulukira pa satellite yathu koyamba, dziko lapansi lidalandira nkhaniyi pakati pazosiyana zakugonjetsedwa kwachilengedwe ndi zokayikirana zakuchuluka pakati pa Cold War ndi mpikisano wake wapamlengalenga, zomwe zafika pachiwembu cha ziwembu zapadziko lapansi mpaka lero.
Komabe, chidwi chomaliza chosaiwalika, kufunikira kwa mphindiyo, tanthauzo la mawu oyamba a Armstrong omwe adafikira dziko lonse lapansi koyambirira kwa kulumikizana kwathunthu, malingaliro a mamiliyoni aanthu omwe adatsata malo odyssey adakhala potengera zamatsenga zachitukuko chonse cha anthu. Chiyembekezo chinafalikira pomwepo ndipo chilengedwe chidawoneka ngati chatseguka ngati msewu waukulu, m'malingaliro ambiri, zaka zochepa kuchokera pano, ukhoza kutanthauzira kulanda malo atsopano kuphatikiza pulaneti labuluu.
Zaka makumi asanu pambuyo pake, mseu waukuluwo sunakhazikitsidwe ndipo malowa akupitilizabe kukhala malo ovuta kuti anthu akhalemo. Ndipo mwina ndichifukwa chake ulendowu ukuwoneka lero ngati epic, ulendo wopita patsogolo wokhazikika pakulephera kupitilizabe kuyendetsa malo omwe theka la zaka zapitazo lidawoneka ngati loti lingafanane ndi buku lililonse lopeka la sayansi Jules Verne.
Monga gawo lodziwika bwino, kubwera kwa chikumbutso cha 50th ndi chikondwerero chomwe chimaphatikizira bukuli la Eduardo García Llama, mainjiniya a NASA omwe amatipempha kuti tikumbukire chochitika chofunikira kwambiri kuchokera m'masomphenya a buku laukadaulo la epistolary, la mmbuyo ndi mtsogolo mauthenga pakati pa sitimayo ndi siteshoni. Ndipo ndithudi matsenga ambiri aulendowu wopitilira dziko lathuli amakhala munthawi yolumikizirana, malingaliro ndi zolemba za ngwazi zomwe zidakwanitsa kuyika mbendera pamwezi.
Gulu lopangidwa ndi oyang'anira atatu odziwika (kumbukirani kuti Michael Collins wosauka sanafike pamwezi, monga woyendetsa ndegeyo, yemwenso ndi hule ...) amatsegula masomphenya athu kuyambira nthawi imeneyo kuchokera Padziko Lapansi ndi ma TV (khalani moyo kapena kudzera mukubwezeretsanso ena a ife omwe sitinali pano). Ndipo palibe njira yabwinoko yoperekera imodzi mwa masuti akalewa kuti tikhale ndi mwayi wopambana kuposa wina aliyense mpaka pano.
Mutha kugula bukuli Apollo 11, buku losangalatsa lokhala ndi mawu omvekera bwino, wolemba sayansi yaukadaulo ndi mainjiniya a NASA, Eduardo García Llama, apa:
