So I’m all excited talking about Apollo 11 30th Anniversary to my 9 year old – I was nine years old and remember it clearly. It was a huge issue with us, really awesome and very important.
My 9 year old’s reaction? Huh. That’s it. Huh.
On July 20, 1969, the human race accomplished its single greatest technological achievement of all time when a human first set foot on another celestial body.
Six hours after landing at 4:17 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time (with less than 30 seconds of fuel remaining), Neil A. Armstrong took the “Small Step” into our greater future when he stepped off the Lunar Module, named “Eagle,” onto the surface of the Moon, from which he could look up and see Earth in the heavens as no one had done before him.
