This legislative proposal, titled the "Lunar Landing Day Act," formally designates July 20 as Lunar Landing Day . It achieves this by amending chapter 1 of title 36, United States Code, which pertains to patriotic and national observances. The bill includes extensive technical and conforming amendments to properly integrate this new designation into the existing structure of the code, ensuring its correct placement among other commemorative days. The Act encourages all private citizens, organizations, and Federal, State, and local governmental and legislative entities to recognize Lunar Landing Day. This recognition should occur through various means, including proclamations, activities, and educational efforts. The dual purpose of these efforts is to commemorate the historic first successful landing of humans on the Moon on July 20, 1969, and to inspire the continued leadership of the United States in space exploration and science.
