UPDATE:
Where were you 45 years ago – on July 20, 1969?
For some readers, you became part of an estimated 600 million people – at that time, the world’s largest television audience in history – glued to the TV screen as Apollo 11’s Eagle lunar lander touched down on the Moon.
That unprecedented endeavor involved Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin – the first two humans to set foot on another world.
To commemorate the 45th anniversary of that heart-stopping achievement, Buzz is launching the #Apollo45 social media campaign to not only remind people of the Moon landing feat, but also to get individuals to share their memories of this historic event…or how Apollo 11 inspired them.
NOTE: This campaign doesn’t launch until Tues, July 8. So stay tuned for a special video that you’ll find inspirational and participational!
Videos can be shared through YouTube, or on Facebook, Twitter, Google+ or Instagram.
For the special YouTube Channel URL that becomes open asking for your comments on Tuesday, July 8th, go to:
Some of the notable personalities who will be sharing their stories include, Quincy Jones, John Travolta, Stephen Colbert, Tim Allen, Jared Leto, Sir Richard Branson, Neil deGrasse Tyson, Bill Nye, HRH Prince Sultan of Saudi Arabia and London Mayor Boris Johnson, with more to come.
Buzz will be doing a countdown leading up to the anniversary, releasing new videos every day starting from July 10 leading up to July 20th.
