It's been 50 years since man landed on the moon.

This was an amazing feat within itself, for science and world-relations. So in honor of landing, here are some fun, less-known facts about this achievement:

- Armstrong and Aldrin spent almost a full day on the Moon's surface (while another stayed behind).

- The landing was watched on television by an estimated 600 million people.

- The astronauts left pictures of human beings and the recordings of many languages on the Moon's surface.

- Armstrong carried with him a piece of wood from an airplane that belonged to the Wright brothers.

- The astronauts declared "moon rock and moon dust samples" to customs when they returned to Earth.

- The astronauts landed with only 25 seconds of fuel to spare.

- The exact phrase uttered by Armstrong has been disputed.

This was all made possible by agencies working together to further the growth of the nation.

Which is why Dwight is fighting in Congress to further America's progress, and fund scientific research and technology.
