What this bill does
H.Res. 1442 is a symbolic resolution expressing House support for designating July 20, 2026 as "National Moon Landing Day," commemorating the anniversary of the 1969 Apollo 11 lunar landing. The resolution recounts the history of the Apollo, Gemini, and Mercury space programs, the ongoing Artemis missions (including the recent Artemis II flight around the Moon), the economic and scientific benefits of the U.S. space program, and the United Nations' 2021 designation of July 20 as "InterNational Moon Day."
The resolution does not create any new law, program, or funding; it does not impose obligations on any individual, business, or government agency. Instead, it calls on people in the United States to mark the day by honoring astronauts and workers involved in space exploration, educating others about the value of human spaceflight, and encouraging young people to pursue STEM careers. It is largely commemorative and has no direct regulatory or budgetary effect.
The resolution was introduced on July 20, 2026, by Rep. Andrea Salinas with bipartisan cosponsors, and referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. As a simple House resolution, it would need to be considered and passed by the House to take effect, but it does not require Senate action or the President's signature, since it does not carry the force of law.
