epa07672266 (FILE) - A handout photo made available by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) shows 'Apollo 11' astronaut Edwin 'Buzz' Aldrin standing by the US flag planted on the surface of the moon on 20 July 1969 (issued 25 June 2019). The year 2019 marks the 50th anniversary of the first moon landing, an event seen as the peak of the United States' space program of the 1960s which put an end to the so-called 'Race to Space' between the Cold War rivals the US and the Soviet Union, that once was triggered by the USSR's 04 October 1957 launch of the 'Sputnik 1' satellite. NASA astronaut Neil Armstrong made history when he stepped out of the Apollo 11's 'Eagle' landing module on 21 July 1969 and left the first human footprints on the moon.
