Congratulation
But NASA did far more than that in 1969...

You have forgot that China's Chang'e-3 probe landed on the moon in 2013.

NASA is yankees,really not a good human representative considering US hegemony behaviours!

The US government once asked American astronauts to declare that the moon is owned by the US government.
