It kind of irritates me how it is always assumed that Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin were the only ones on Apollo 11 - Michael Collins is rarely mentioned.

Landing on the Moon was ranked as the #1 TV happening of all time. I feel like when we go back to the Moon in 2020, it should be the #2 happening of all time. It has been a long time coming for us to go back there. I can't wait.

@youvebeenthunderstru Well, they were the only ones on Eagle, that much is true.

Gene Kranz taking "go/no go" from all the flight controllers, always gives me a lump in my throat

I am a teacher in Sydney, Australia. We did a topic on space.

A parent walked up to me after a TV broadcast of Apollo 13 and told me her son recited the whole "booster...Go" "Retro...Go" "Fido...Go", "Guidance....Go" sequence. She was also annoyed that her son wanted an Omega Speedmaster watch for Christmas. I said I was sorry but that's what happens when he gets a space nerd for a teacher.

The current Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter has found all Apollo LM descent stages, footprint trails, experiment packages, as well as other US and Soviet lunar spacecraft that made it to the Moon's surface.

@brychelle73

I'm not interested in going back. If we go back, it'll be all about P.C., not about doing incredible, impossible things.

"Rock and Roll's greatest band" is kinda like saying "Alcatraz's greatest murderer"...

"This isn't like... something America is doing..."

There is a plaque which remains in Mare Tranquilitatus. Can anyone tell me what it says?

"Americans first planted our boot on the Moon July 1969 A.D. We came in conquest and blood, for our own glory."

Nope.

Here Men From Planet Earth First Set Foot Upon The Moon July 1969 A.D. We Came In Peace For All Mankind.

i belive we did go because if we didnt ? howd we get those rocks? or leave the PLSS on the moon? or the descent stage??

people say that we didnt and we they look at a photo of the flag they say there's no atmosphere so why is it wavine?? .WRONG the flag was only waving because they didnt fully extend the upper rod holding the flag up and it was bee coiled in the lunar module since before the launch till they got ot the moon and did a EVA

@youvebeenthunderstru i know when it comes to the Apollo mission except for 13 when they go to the moon Ive always thought about the cmp .. i know during the Apollo 11 moon walk Mike Collins said to Houston "And dont forget one in the command module.. and thanks for putting me on relay Houston. i was missing most of the action.."

[crayonlegs]

I agree
