Today in 1969 Apollo 11 lunar module, carrying Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin (seen above with Michael Collins who stayed in moon orbit), landed on the moon. About 7 hours later Armstrong took the first step.

I remember it as if it was yesterday (dating myself here). It was the middle of the night in my time zone and I was young but what a memory!
