Named for the moment Americans came together to build the future.

On May 5, 1961, Alan Shepard became the first American to travel into space aboard the Freedom 7 spacecraft. Millions of Americans watched and listened, and in that moment the country found a shared mission. Scientists, engineers, and workers across the country came together to put an American on the Moon. The technology that mission set in motion still improves lives today, from satellite communications to medical imaging.

Today, we’re at the start of another historic advancement, and the possibilities are just as great. Compute is the raw material on which every AI application runs: healthcare diagnostics, drug discovery, scientific research, and everything downstream. What we build now will shape how quickly new treatments reach patients, how fast researchers can solve problems that have plagued generations, and how widely those benefits are shared.

Building this infrastructure responsibly means more than advancing AI. It means innovation, infrastructure, investment, and jobs in communities across the country.
