Lunar Landing Day Act
A bill to amend title 36, United States Code, to designate July 20 as Lunar Landing Day.
This bill proposes to establish July 20 as Lunar Landing Day in the United States. This special day would commemorate the historic first landing of humans on the moon, which occurred on July 20, 1969, during NASA's Apollo 11 mission. Recognizing this significant event could inspire future generations and celebrate the achievements of American space exploration.
The bill would affect all U.S. citizens by adding an official day of recognition for a major milestone in American history. It could lead to educational events, public commemorations, and renewed interest in space exploration. However, it does not provide any specific funding or mandates beyond the recognition itself.
The bill was introduced on July 23, 2026, in the Senate, where it was quickly passed without any amendments. The next step is for the bill to be sent to the House of Representatives for further consideration. As of the latest update, the Senate has already approved the bill, and it is now awaiting action in the House.
