July 20, 1969: Man on the Moon

Forty years ago, just a few minutes ago, 9:56 CDT, man set foot on the Moon. That man, Neil Armstrong, and he was followed by Buzz Aldrin. This was the Apollo 11 Mission. Astronaut Michael Collins remained in the command module Columbia.

I never thought I would see this day.

"One small step for man; one giant leap for mankind."

And that considering that humans had first flown just 63 years before that!!

One Impressive Event. --Cooter
