Apollo 11 Moon Landing 40th Anniversary

Remembering the Apollo 11 Moon Landing

I’m a space, sci-fi and science buff. I was born in 1957, so I grew up with space exploration in the news. Plus, I had an aunt & uncle who lived in Cocoa Beach, Florida.

I remember the Apollo 11 moon mission today as if it happened yesterday. It was just a few days before my 13th birthday (July 23rd). We stayed up late to watch it on TV, too. I also cassette tape-recorded the important events (liftoff through splashdown). And, of course I have all the newspaper clippings. They’re a lot of fun to get out and look at.

Here’s the official NASA Apollo 11 40th Anniversary website, too.
