This is super great! I can't wait orbiting this marvelous creature of God. Surely, these astronauts chose a perfect message to send to people on earth, to always remember that this all was created by God Almighty, and that what we, people on earth, do is just discovering what God made and put around us.

this was one of the coolest moments in history. funny how they got things done in those days and spent money on things like this and spent less on social programs and yet there was economic growth and low unemployment and optimism and greater income equality.

and oh yeah, unforgiven down below seems pretty desperate to feel smarter than everyone else. those moon landing conspiracy people are just so sad

God is indeed amazing. Praise God from Whom All Blessings Flow, Praise Him All Creatures Here Below...

One of the greatest moments in humanitys history. The first time ever humans left the Earths gravity field and came under the influence of another celestial body.

Maybe the first time ever in the history of Universe that a species managed to leave its home planet by its own force.

It MUST not be forgotten. It will not happen again, not like this. We are only held back by ignorance. But first we have to sort out "The Good Earth". Everyone needs to help. Work is fun. Heard Muhamad Ali too. I was there. It's all true.Live in the past if you want, the future is bright.

@danieltangent Everyone reads it different, but wasn't God who put them there. It was bloody good engineering by the American Aviation Industry. One million bits working together and doing their job. Like we are supposed to be doing.
