July 20, 1969: Apollo 11

Never saw a Saturn V launch in person but have seen the massive F1's up close. I have a shot from the Air and Space museum on Washington Mall of myself standing in front of one of those massive things. Just the sheer scale of the rocket is mind boggling.

The Kennedy Space center has a full mock up of the Saturn too, just walking the length of the museum its housed in took me a good hour, plus all the side exhibits with various pieces of Apollo/Gemini/Mercury equipment was fascinating.

I'm a huge space nut, and love NASA and all the other space agencies work to keep men and women in orbit and develop new tech and experiment to broaden our understanding of the universe. Can't wait for the new moon program to start and watch those missions as they unfold.
