Moon Landing 40th Anniversary



Today is the the 40th anniversary of when Apollo 11 astronauts first landed on the moon July 20, 1969 in their landing module Eagle with the words "The Eagle has landed." In the video, Neil Armstrong the first astronaut to step on the moon said the famous words "One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind." Then Buzz Aldrin also joined him on the surface. The original live television coverage was in low resolution black and white. I remember it very well since I was almost 16 years old at the time.

I remember that.I was working in Ontario. I would run in and look at teh TV then run outside and look at the moon, trying to imagine how it could happen that there were really people up there.
