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! |

Seems not worthy of a Google Doodle. |
