I carried a dream that belonged to the whole world. On July 20, 1969, my feet touched the Sea of Tranquility.
Two people climbed down my ladder. For the first time, human footprints pressed into the dust of another world.
My ascent stage took them home. My descent stage stayed behind, a quiet monument beneath a sky without air.
I am still at Tranquility Base. The footsteps beside me remember what we dared to do.
