The moon landing by Neil Armstrong on July 20, 1969 after takeoff on July 16 and a 195 hour journey. Armstrong said as he stepped out on the moon: "That's one small step for man, and a giant leap for mankind."

Armstrong manually guided the craft to its landing spot during the last couple of hundred feet.

For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
