Apollo 11 Lands On The Moon

Thanks to a post by TheUnicornHunter that reminded me that today is the 35th anniversary of Apollo 11 landing on the moon. So I am reposting this from last year.

 

On July 20th 1969 Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin became the first humans to actually land on another 'world', open the hatch and step outside. Neil Armstrong was the first human to set foot on the moon, but Buzz Aldrin was actually the first person to speak from the moon. Those first words spoken while in contact with the moon were simple, un-historic and strictly meant for Neil Armstrong's use and for NASA as well. They were "Contact Light", which was to announce to Neil and NASA that the lunar module had touched the surface and signal Armstrong to shut the engine down.

 

Today marks the 35th anniversary of that day when the Lunar Module came to rest on the Sea Of Tranquility and 4 hours later Neil and Buzz made their historic walk in the sun.

Wow 35 years ago.

I remember being glued to the tv watching

it. For a 12 year old boy it was fantasy come true.

space travel, alien worlds.

On an adult note a great day in world history.
