Apollo 11 - 45th Anniversary

While I know that there are certain people out there that don't believe we went to the moon I am not one of them. I remember getting to stay up late and watch TV as the Eagle (the moon lander) came to rest on surface of the moon July 20, 1969. My Uncle was part of the crew at Cape Canaveral that launched Apollo 11 on its historic trip to the moon.

Today I have a video sequence shot by the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter of the Apollo 11 landing site. Its getting pretty hard to ignore the evidence now!

This is the famous photograph. Every human alive but one is in this picture. The only one missing is Michael Collins the astronaut behind the camera, piloting the command module

Reboot the Suit - The Smithsonian's first Kickstarter

So here is a Kickstarter near and dear to my heart. The Smithsonian needs funds to restore Neal Armstrong's spacesuit for display in time for the 50th anniversary of the moon landing. Its one of those momentous events that you remember exactly where you were and what you were doing when it happened. This needs your support.

"I think we are going to the moon because it's in the nature of human beings to face challenges. It's by the nature of his deep inner soul...
We're required to do these things just as Salmon swim upstream." Neil Armstrong
