JULY 16

On this date in 1969, Apollo 11 took off from the Kennedy Space Center at Cape Canaveral, Florida. It was the first manned space mission to land on the moon. The mission commander was Neil Armstrong; the command module pilot was Michael Collins; and the lunar module pilot was Buzz Aldrin. Four days later, on the 20th of the month, Armstrong became the first human to walk on the moon.

What a hair raising, daring trip that must have been for those guys. My heart rate speeds up just thinking about it. Its ironic that they landed on the moon in a large depression called the Sea of Tranquility. It sounds so inviting...lets spend some time together there.
