When President Kennedy challenged NASA to put a man on the moon before 1970, it took some of the world’s brightest engineers, mathematicians, and human computers to meet the deadline. The challenge sparked not only their imaginations, but so many around the world, and its legacy has continued to do so for five decades. Happy 50th anniversary, Apollo 11.

Moon landing audio visuals never get old. Always welcome is Neil’s famous line “One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind”

Yeah, I don’t know. Could just as easily be photographs of the desert than the moon. For all the satellites they got up there you would think we would have a dozen streaming HD space channels. Why not give is 1000s of photos and videos of space, instead CG images of satellites?
