In preparation for commemorating the 25th anniversary of Neil A. Armstrong's walk on the Moon on July 20, 1969, the media featured various articles, hooks, films, television specials, and high-level conferences on the meaning of the Moon landing. One article commented on the significance of these publications and events, with particular reference to Moon Shot, a memoir cowritten by Alan B. Shepard Jr. and the late astronaut Deke Slayton.

NASA announced that Suzanne Smrekar, a geophysicist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, who had been working on data from NASA's Magellan mission, had found that the planet Venus was still geologically active in places, even though radar images of its surface indicated little change in the past half-billion years. Data suggested that there were at least two, and possibly more, active hot spots on Venus. (NASA Release 94-105)
