Explanation:
A human first set foot on another world on July 20, 1969. This world was Earth's own Moon. In honor of today's 40th anniversary, NASA has released a digitally restored video of this milestone in human history. Pictured above is Neil Armstrong preparing to take the historic first step. On the way down the Lunar Module ladder, Armstrong released equipment which included the television camera that recorded this fuzzy image. Pictures and voice transmissions were broadcast live to a world wide audience estimated at one fifth of the world's population. The Apollo Moon landings have since been described as the greatest technological achievement the world has known.

說明:
1969年7月20日,人類第一次踏上新世界,這個新世界就是月亮。美國太空總署為了慶祝登月40週年,將當初登月的影像透過現代科技修復後釋出。上圖是阿姆斯壯(Neil Armstrong)準備踏上人類史上的第一步。在登月艙下梯的途中,阿姆斯壯利用電視鏡頭記錄出這模糊的影像,影像與聲音透過現場直播傳到地球上,估計約有五分之一的世界人口觀看。阿波羅登月任務無疑是世界上巨大的技術成就。
