hi everybody we live in historic times even what feels like divided times it felt that way in the 1960s as well yet when we recall the challenges of the 60s we might also recall the triumphs of the 60s especially that awe inspiring Triumph that closed out the decade in July of 196 9 it was a Triumph that came in the shape of a bootprint okay NE we can see you coming down the ladder now it was one small step that one giant leap for all of humanity it was Apollo 11 whose 55th anniversary we are honored to celebrate this week space can Unite a troubled country in troubled times and no moment United the country quite like when the eagle landed as all of planet Earth watched From Below no moment dazzled Humanity quite like when Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldren with Mike Collins orbiting overhead set foot on the surface of the Moon we are in politically divided times again as we work through this current time of Challenge and unacceptable political violence let this Apollo 11 anniversary be a time of reflection and I hope of healing some may say that unity and divided times is an Impossible Dream but what about the the unity of Apollo 11 some may say that our brightest days are behind us but what will happen when Humanity gathers once again in shared reverence to watch a crew of Artemis astronauts take to the heavens and then when Humanity sets foot once again on the surface of the Moon the day will be a Triumph for all for Humanity's capacity to work together for our shared will to dream new dreams because when we can work together up there we can live together down here in the name of peace
