May 25th in history:

On May 25th, 1961, President Kennedy announced the Apollo Project, stating his goal of landing a man on the moon and returning him to Earth before the end of the decade. This was only three weeks after America’s first manned space flight.

On the same date in 1977, the original “Star Wars” movie opened around the U.S.

And, Yoda’s birthday it is, from the “Star Wars” films: Frank Oz (1944).
