Happy Apollo 11 Day!
 
40 years ago today, man set foot on the moon. Here are 40 incredible photos from that mission. Enjoy!

My favourite:

After lifting off from the Moon, Eagle approaches the Command Module during rendezvous. Astronaut Michael Collins, who remained on board the Command Module for the entire trip, remembers taking this photograph: "Little by little, they grew closer, steady, as if on rails, and I thought 'What a beautiful sight,'one that had to be recorded. As I reached for my Hasselblad, suddenly the Earth popped up over the horizon, directly behind Eagle. I could not have staged it any better, but the alignment was not of my doing, just a happy coincidence. I suspect a lot of good photography is like that, some serendipitous happenstance beyond the control of the photographer. But at any rate, as I clicked away, I realized that for the first time, in one frame, appeared three billion earthlings, two explorers, and one moon. The photographer, of course, was discreetly out of view." (quoted with permission from Apollo Through the Eyes of the Astronauts) (NASA) #

They could have a farm there for all we know. They'r aliens, they prolly have much more superior technology than we do.

Exactly! And the aliens might not even be bilaterally symmetrical beings! They could be anything , maybe a white squid shaped figure, you never know.

And my grandfather was a Cylon. :facepalm:

stunning accomplishment indeed. I find it chilling and inspiring listening to Kennedy's speech from 61' or 62'. The amount of technological advancement that came from the space race (plastics, materials, etc.) is amazing.

It's pretty sad to see the wacky skeptics in here..

+Kardboard+ 07-16-2009 11:01 PM
Well said, sir, well said. :) Someone who gets it.

Sarcasm from you is expected, no worries, it's just everyone else out there. Not just on RS, but lots of people have said the same thing in the past year or so, actually, it being a hoax and all.
