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. > **[NASA Live: Apollo 11 Anniversary](https://www.nasa.gov/nasalive/)** > > NASA launches, landings, and events. Watch live broadcasts from NASA Television and NASA's social media channels, and a schedule of upcoming live events including news briefings, launches and landings. ---

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. ---
