Today, 50 years ago as a young boy, I watched with fascination the live footage from NASA on the first manned lunar landing, Apollo 11, while my dad took pictures from the tv screen, knowing history was being established (no VCR’s yet). There is a live stream of the original footage from NASA today, starting today at 4.05 pm Eastern time, on their website, 50 minutes from posting this. You can watch the original footage as we did, 5 decades ago. May you feel the same tension and thrills, my fellow space travelers. Knowing now that Neil and Buzz landed the Eagle with mere seconds of fuel in reserve makes it even more exciting. Enjoy.

I will believe it once they land a woman on the moon.
On topic. That’s some historic stuff right there. Armstrong wasn’t wrong when he called it one giant leap for mankind.

All Lego is cool.
To some it’s an engineering challenge, to others it’s a toy. I just bought my 11 year old nephew the mobile crane technic kit for his birthday.

I bought the lego saturn 5 kit purely for science.
That makes it a grown-up thing to do!
I also bought the Tron Lego kit too. For science, of course.

… that comment sounds really dumb when you remember theaters showed the moon landings to both live on smaller tvs and projected reruns
Im not the one claiming the moon is fake when its clearly there every night.
Dumb is as dumb is, as Garfield always says.
But it’s not there keep up. The moon is a projection
