Forty Four Years Ago This Week, the human race stopped briefly and watched the crew of Apollo 11 start their historic trip to the moon.
1) 44 Years Ago Today, on July 16, 1969, the Saturn V rocket blasted off from Cape Kennedy, Florida to start the flight to the moon to fulfill the challenge that President Kennedy had set earlier in 1961.
Unfortunately, the 44th anniversary of the landing and first moon walk will be this Saturday Evening, when I will be nowhere near a computer.
Happy Anniversary Everyone!
Please share widely!
One of the best descriptions of that mission I’ve ever seen can be found here:
