40th Anniversary of Apollo 11 Moonwalk
Tonight marks the 40th of the Apollo 11 historic moonwalk. Recently NASA has restored some of the footage from the moonwalk and is currently streaming the audio in real-time from the mission. If you listen near 11 PM EDT, you can hear Neal Armstrong say his immortal words "That's one small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind."

Heh, didn't know that was today. This is pretty interesting. Four decades, yet we have barely advanced in space. Sad really..

Still makes me chuckle when I see the flag moving on the "moon."

I'm walking on sunshine~
I'd never go to the moon. Until a few years ago, I thought it was made of cheese. "That's one small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind." |

There is absolutely no doubt that we went to the moon forty years ago. It's an irrefutable fact. It was even confirmed by the one nation that would have an incentive to deny it: The Soviet Union. They paid close attention to the Apollo 11 mission, and they didn't cry foul even once. |
I forgot to mention that in RBY and FRLG that person in the Pewter City Museum mentions seeing the Apollo 11 mission on a new color TV.

The conspiracies make me chuckle. |
Well this is a very nice anniversary. The US space program has given us so many modern conveniences that are rarely even talked about (New dental brace technology for example.)
Also we have the capacity to do a Mars landing. The technology is there. Problem is the lack of true funding and public support. I mean we are in the middle of a recession after all. But hey, I'm all for an international cooperative mission to Mars akin to the International Space Station. One nation state cannot fund it alone. =/ |
Colbert was right. THE MOON DIDN'T EXIST 40 YEARS AGO OMFGNOWAI

To be quite honest, I think this moonwalk meant a lot more to people than the Apollo 11. Quite depressing, really. |
