　　On July 20, 1969，Americans Neil Armstrong and Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin became the first humans to set foot on the moon. It was a defining moment in American history.

　　More US missions to the moon followed. Now, two congresswomen want to preserve the lunar landing sites by granting them the same protection given to national historical parks. On July 8, a bill called the Apollo Lunar Landing Legacy Act was introduced,

　　which would establish a national park on the moon.

　　The purpose of the act is to preserve the sites for scientific research and to improve public understanding of the

　　Apollo program.

　　Apollo is the name of the spacecraft used by

　　American astronauts between 1969 and 1972. If passed,

　　the bill would protect artifacts,

　　such as footprints and equipment, left behind during the seven Apollo missions.

　　It would also require the United States to ask the United Nations to designate the Apollo 11 landing site as a World Heritage Site.

　　“In the light of other nations and private entities developing or already having developed the

　　ability to go to the moon, the United States must be proactive in protecting artifacts left by the seven Apollo lunar landings，” Congresswoman Johnson said in an e­mail message.
