  • The Apollo 11 goodwill messages are statements from leaders of 73 countries around the world on a disc about the size of a 50-cent piece made of silicon that was left on the Moon in 1969 by the Apollo 11 astronauts. The disc also carried names of the leadership of the Congress, the four committees of the House and Senate responsible for legislation related to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), and NASA's top management, including past administrators and deputy administrators. At the top of the disc is the inscription: "Goodwill messages from around the world brought to the Moon by the astronauts of Apollo 11." Around the rim is the statement: "From Planet Earth – July 1969". The collected letters were given to the GCA Corp in Burlington MA which used a reduction camera to make a negative photomask containing all the letters plus an inscription around its edge at its final size. This mask was given to Sprague Electric Company of North Adams, Massachusetts which imaged it onto a silicon wafer and etched the pattern into the wafer. NASA head Thomas O. Paine proposed the idea to the U.S. State Department, and corresponded with world leaders to solicit their messages. These were enshrined by being photographed and reduced to 1/200 scale ultra microfiche silicon etching. The disc rests in an aluminum case on the Moon's Sea of Tranquility. The disc was in a package in Buzz Aldrin's suit shoulder pocket along with some other memorial items. He was reminded about the package by Neil Armstrong while ascending the ladder of the Lunar Module Eagle to finish their EVA. He then dropped it to the surface. Later Houston requested and received confirmation they had placed it. (en)
  • Los Mensajes de buena voluntad del Apolo 11 son mensajes de líderes de 73 países del mundo en un disco del tamaño de una moneda de 50 centavos de dólar hecho de silicio que fue dejado en la luna por los astronautas de la misión Apolo 11. El disco también llevaba los nombres de los líderes del congreso de Estados Unidos, los 4 comités parlamentarios responsables de la legislación relacionada con la NASA, y los altos directivos de la NASA (pasados y presentes). En la parte superior del disco está la inscripción "Goodwill messages from around the world brought to the Moon by the astronauts of Apollo 11" (Mensajes de buena voluntad de todo el mundo traídos a la luna por los astronautas del Apolo 11). En el borde están las inscripciones "From Planet Earth - July 1969" (Desde el planeta Tierra - julio de 1969). El disco fue fabricado por la Sprague Electric Company. Los mensajes (que fueron recibidos por correspondencia) fueron fotografiados y reducidos 200 veces mediante proceso de microfilme. El disco reposa dentro de un estuche de aluminio en la luna, en el Mar de la Tranquilidad.​ (es)
  • Les messages de bonne volonté d'Apollo 11 (anglais : Apollo 11 Goodwill Messages) sont des déclarations rédigées, à la demande de la NASA, par les dirigeants de nombreux pays du monde, afin de les reproduire en fac-similé sur un disque de silicium de la taille d'une pièce de monnaie, que les astronautes d'Apollo 11 ont déposé en juillet 1969 à la surface de la Lune. Ce disque fait partie de plusieurs symboles que les États-Unis ont prévus pour donner une dimension internationale aux premiers pas de l'Homme sur la Lune, dans un contexte de course à l'espace engendrée par la guerre froide avec l'Union soviétique.

Ao redor do aro está a declaração: "Do Planeta Terra -- Julho de 1969". O disco foi produzido pela Empresa de North Adams (Massachusetts). O diretor da NASA Thomas O. Paine propôs a ideia ao Departamento de Estado norte-americano e correspondeu-se com líderes mundiais para pedir suas mensagens. Estas foram consagradas por serem fotografadas e reduzidas à escala 1/200 para gravação em silício ultra microfiche. O disco está num estojo de alumínio no Mare Tranquillitatis. (pt)
