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.
“This bill will help ensure that this unique aspect of our cultural heritage is preserved.”
Some critics say that the bill does not require immediate attention because NASA does not have plans to return to the moon.
Countries like China and Japan have only hinted about sending people there around 2025, but no one
knows whether that will happen.
Other critics question whether the bill can be enforced and say that it may even violate an international treaty. In 1967, the United States and the Soviet Union agreed that no country could make a claim on the moon.
Now, more than 40 years since the last Apollo mission, the Apollo Lunar Landing Legacy Act is making its way through Congress.
“I know that it can sound farfetched to say that we are going to have a national park on the moon,” said Congresswoman Johnson. But she believes it's important to preserve the lunar landing sites.
“These are an important reminder of what has made America great and serve as an inspiration for future generations.”
1.The bill Apollo Lunar Landing Legacy Act was introduced to ________.
A.celebrate the first landing on the moon
