44years ago today
 

Only can see the little box with a red x in it Gargamel.

Open the image in a new tab and click on redirect.

It's the moon landing.

Happy Anniversary to the Landing! :salute: :salute:

I cannot see a thing, other than the signature. Not even dragging the cursor over it. There is nothing there. I hit the F5 key a few times, nothing.

Using Orbiter, I put this pic together to honor those who made the first landing!:salute: Thanks for reminding us about this historic anniversary!

Still remember watching this on a black and white set in the school library :sunny:

On a Sunday?

I did a similar thing four years ago:

Yours is definitely better, my lander seems to have discovered previously unknown anti-gravity devices on its legs... :haha:

Possible it was news footage...not even sure if we had a tv at home then but more likely we had and I'd be out playing :doh:

I hear ya. My memories of the event are pretty clouded after all these years as well. You remember what you saw but the context you saw it not so much.

I didn't see it live, as I was in boot camp at the time. We listened to it on the radio, though.

The proof is out there if only people were to open their eyes

We can always just ask Buzz Aldrin what he thinks of it

On second thought, maybe we shouldn't ask him. :D

That kind of problem happened a lot with the older version of Orbiter Oberon, this newer version doesn't have that problem with scenery as much.

Steve, I was in boot camp for Apollo 8, didn't know about it until Christmas Day when we first heard the news. I was stationed at MCAS Cherry Point during Apollo 11. I remember watching it, but like August said, the memory starts to fade when I try to remember exactly where I watched the landing. Don't remember if I was on base or off?

It seems a lot of people are unaware of the interview Neil did in Australia a few months before he passed on. It's great to see him so relaxed and obviously enjoying himself:

Ya can't get much cooler than Mr. Armstrong. :yeah:

Not a true story, but it makes me laugh to think it could have happened.

Truly the last time one could claim American Exceptionalism and be right and accurate.:)

Hats off, and salutes to the crew of all the Apollo missions, not just the famed Apollo 11!

The missions before tested equipment, and every one of those men helped mankind get there.

Hats off to the men afterwards, when people lost interest in this truly bold venture.

The bravery, and composure of Apollo 13.:salute:

What a great generation for innovation, and boldness.

Since then, no man has travelled farther.

The landing of the moon occurred 44 years ago. What happens in 44 years?

Well in 1969, when we landed on the moon, 44 years ago, then, was 1925.

Think of all the accomplishments that happened between 1925 and 1969. Even limited to aerospace, a lot happened in those 44 years. :yep:

We went from wood and cloth airplanes to metal jets and rockets.

Now look at the technological advances that came in the 44 years since 1969. Have we experienced the same changes in technology in the 44 years since 1969 as we did in the 44 years prior to 1969?

I can play old Nintendo games on my cell phone, and make a call at the same time on it.

I can google up directions to a restaurant, then have directions show up on my talking gps.

But we still never been further than the moon, we (mankind in itself) is greater than this.

Mars.

LOL :)
