Never crossed my mind that a head of state would copyright his/her public statements and an US federal agency such as NASA would copyright the translations of such statements in their press release. It's all in Public domain, the NASA press release is available at [1] and the text is also partly available at the New Mexico State University [2]. But of course, any second opinions are welcome.--Termer 04:18, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
Even if the translations were done by the local government employees or in the embassies to the US, it's still PD. Or else is there a reason to believe that NASA has ever outsourced their press releases to private sector who might have commercial interest in any of these public statements? Regarding narrowing the article down and taking the full press release into Wikisource, sure why not. I'd leave the list of countries and the heads of states as a part of the article like the NASA Officials etc. are currently listed and then anybody who wants to see what any of these guys had to say, can pull out the full text from Wikisource. --Termer 20:20, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
I changed the line saying it would stay on the Moon for thousands of years.
There's at least a moderate, if not a very strong possibility that we will have a presence on the Moon in several thousand years. While it WOULD last for thousands of years if humans didn't return to the Moon, the Chinese are returning in a few years, as is the United States. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.42.151.79 (talk) 08:28, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
Hi all,
Someone knows how was built the list of the « Nations Represented by Goodwill Messages on Apollo 11 Disc » ?
Every nation on the earth was contacted ?
Absent nations: Perhaps obvious... USSR; but France ? De Gaulle didn't agree to let a message ?
Thanks in advance.

The bulk of this article was directly copying the content of the disc, including quotes from former US presidents and many other world leaders. While some works by the US federal government are exempt under US copyright law, this would not be the case for quotes from foreign leaders, for example. The en masse copying of full quotations may be too much to qualify for fair use. I would welcome comments from Wikimedia Foundation's legal team on licensing issues. In the meantime, I have deleted the dubious content. —sroc 💬 17:17, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

Seewoosagur Ramgoolam is listed as a signatory for Malawi. But he was Prime Minister of Mauritius. I've tried editing this and it says "Mauritius" in the coding. But as published, it displays Malawi. Are others seeing this too or is it a glitch with my system? PedanticallySpeaking (talk) 16:43, 18 July 2017 (UTC)
