July 20, 1969, 600 million people sat in front of their televisions to watch what would be one of the greatest milestones (or rather, leaps) for man, changing his relationship with technology forever.

On this day, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin, American space engineers, travel to space, wearing their NASA space suits and mirrored visor helmets, reflecting what would be for us the first image of the Moon's surface, winning the space race between North America and the former Soviet Union.

Magical? No! Technological.

The record-breaking broadcast was only possible thanks to the technology applied to a satellite measuring less than 60cm, sent 12 years earlier by the Soviet Union itself, showing that even when there is a race, we can run together. The way in which communication and technology permeate our lives changed completely from that day on, making such a great feat public and accessible, bringing the common man closer to the extraordinary.

Bringing people closer together and democratizing the benefits of communication technology and the goal that drives us in the Group Take 5. Quality communication is about belonging and, on that day, all the millions of families, inside their homes, felt part of the “small step for man, one giant leap for mankind”.
