"On behalf of the Latvian nation I salute the first men on the Moon and pray for their safe return.

"May their achievement contribute to world peace and restoration of freedom to all nations."

"As a final result of the combined efforts of science and technology and all to the honor of its initiators, man is reaching the Moon and is setting foot on it for the first time. At this glorious moment when man is freed from the physical constraints of the human condition, Lebanon adds her living testimonial as a land of encounter and of coexistence of many spiritual families to reaffirm her faith in the advancement of man through the virtues of peace, justice and of liberty."

"The government and people of Lesotho wish the government and people of the United States of America every success in their attempt to land the first human being on the moon. Our sincere warm wishes for a safe journey to and from the moon to Apollo 11 Astronauts."

"It is extraordinary, almost incredible that what was but an idea, even a little over a decade ago, seems now an attainable reality. Man's imagination, ingenuity and technology have not only impelled him to look up but has also enabled him to reach the celestial bodies.
