shared U.S. Embassy India post, https://www.facebook.com/India.usembassy/photos/a.190766654372705/2434274240021924/, 20th July 2019 which had a pic of Indian PM Indira Gandhi and what seems to be Neil Armstrong and 2 others, with the following text:
"“On this unique occasion when man traverses outer space to set foot on Earth’s nearest neighbor, Moon, I send my greetings and good wishes to the brave astronauts who have launched on this great venture. I fervently hope that this event will usher in an era of peaceful endeavor for all mankind.” – Indira Gandhi, Prime Minister of India’s message on the silicon disk that was left underneath the U.S. flag which Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin planted on the Moon's surface. #DYK, a small disc carrying statements by Presidents Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, and Nixon and messages of goodwill from leaders of 73 countries around the world was left on the Moon by the Apollo 11 astronauts!?! #Apollo50th"
