STORYLINE:
Hailing the Apollo 11 astronauts as "three genuine American heroes," US President Barack Obama said on Monday that exploration spurs ingenuity and inspires students in math and science.
Obama held a brief Oval Office ceremony to commemorate the day 40 years ago when Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin took man's first steps on the moon.
"All of us recall the moment in which mankind finally was untethered from this planet and was able to explore the stars; the moment in which we had one of our own step on the moon and leave that imprint that is there to this day," Obama told reporters.
He also said he wanted to use the anniversary of the Apollo moon landing to show that math and science were "cool again."
"The touchstone for excellence in exploration and discovery is always going to be represented by the men of Apollo 11," Obama said.
The president said he recalled watching Apollo astronauts return to Hawaii after splashing down in the Pacific Ocean.
