UNAR LANDING DAY: THE MOVEMENT TO MAKE JULY 20TH A FEDERAL HOLIDAY
May 28th 2025
AI-generated, human-edited.
The moon landing on July 20, 1969, was a monumental achievement for humanity, a triumph of technology, and a unifying moment in American history. Yet, as highlighted in a recent episode of This Week in Space, this incredible feat often goes unremembered by many, even those with a passion for space. Rod Pyle and Tariq Malik sat down with Dr. Robert Slater, MD, an orthopedic surgeon and the driving force behind the Lunar Landing Day Initiative, to discuss his quest to make July 20th a federal holiday.
Dr. Slater's inspiration for the initiative stemmed from a simple, yet disheartening, observation: his own staff couldn't recall the significance of July 20th, 1969. This realization sparked a profound concern that one of humanity's greatest accomplishments was fading from public memory. He believes we "ought to celebrate that every year," particularly in an age where positive news is sorely needed.

Tintin, the first man in space and on the Moon
by Anusuya Datta
Monday, April 22, 2024
April 12 is a historic day for the space industry. On this day back in 1961, Russian cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin became the first human in space. Not to be left behind, the United States sent its first man into space in less than a month—Alan Shepard on May 5—thus sparking the famous space race between the two Cold War superpowers. December 1968 saw the launch of Apollo 8, the first manned space mission to orbit the Moon, and about seven months later Americans Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin made the historic Moon landing on July *20, 1969.
But everyone knows all this, and that’s not the story.
What many don’t know is that super hack Tintin was way ahead of both the superpowers in flying to space as well as landing on Moon. Yes, we are talking about the Belgian boy with a tuft of ginger hair.

All of this may be a mute subject if we end up with live war in space.

War in space is not a future problem: it’s happening now
by Christopher Stone
Monday, July 14, 2025
Space is not a place where war will happen in the future, it’s a place where war is happening now! Major powers now vie for dominance in this vital warfighting domain, with China and Russia actively challenging the United States’ long-standing leadership. Evidence suggests these nations are not merely testing space weapons but are actively engaged in a low-intensity warfighting campaign to undermine US and allied interests in orbit, while preparing for further, more destructive and aggressive actions in space.
