Apollo 11


On July 20th, 1969, Apollo 11 landed on the moon.  

I remember it well.  

I was at summer camp, and we were allowed to stay up late to watch the historic event. ;-) 

Since we were the youngest campers we got to sit upfront on the floor in front of the benches, 

as we all huddled around a small black and white television.  

And watched Neil Armstrong walk on the moon.  

A shout out to Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins too. 
To quote Neil: "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind."


These pics are from the Smithsonian Museum in Washington D.C.  

It's well worth a visit.

Happy 50th Anniversary.
Cheers!
