Lunar landing anniversary today
(1/15) > >>
AlbertL:
53 years ago today (7/20/1969 at 20:17 UTC) the Apollo 11 mission accomplished the first manned lunar landing.  I enjoy listening to the mission control audio in real time at this site: https://apolloinrealtime.org/11/ . 
Circlotron:
Yep, today.
Right here in Australia though it is Thursday July 21st , not 20th. 7:25am as I post. The question I want to pose is what date should it be observed? Should the date depend on where you are located?
gnuarm:
That was a pretty amazing event.  I remember it. 
Gyro:
Yep, they landed on my 10th birthday. At the time, I took it as some kind of omen about what (and where) I might do for a job in decades to come. Little did I know!
metrologist:
Seems not worthy of a Google Doodle.
