July 20, 2019 marks the 50th anniversary of Apollo 11, the first time humans walked on the Moon. Coming this summer, NASA Explorers: Apollo is a commemorative audio series that examines the Moon’s cultural and scientific influence over the last half century, while also peering into the future of planetary exploration. Listeners will meet a Moon detective, tour a lab for space rocks and hear from scientists whose lives and work have been shaped by the Apollo program.

As a part of this series, NASA invites you to contribute to an oral history project celebrating giant leaps and exploration of all kinds. You can help NASA tell the Apollo story by sharing your own perspective on lunar exploration, or by interviewing a loved one who lived during the Apollo era. NASA will select some submissions to feature in the audio series, on its website and/or social media.

I am so thankful that my parents made me watch Neil Armstrong take that first set on the moon!

I was 13 years old, living in Switzerland, and my mom woke me up to watch it! I was like the all family gathered by the tv, in awe . Many years later I had the luck to see few Ariane IV flying away and even the first fifth one who was destroy above Cayenne Guayana...since then I’ve kept my passion for space alive. Thank you to all of you guys for letting me dream..

Saw it in black and white at the age of four. Chicken pocks, and the moon landing. I wouldn't move from the TV for hours.
