Happy 40th Anniversary Apollo 11
jewel July 20th, 2009
Is it 20 July 2009 already?!? Where does the time go?
I took my first breath 10 months after Apollo 11 touched down on the moon, so I obviously do not remember that momentous event. Still, when I learned about it in school my imagination soared. We had already been to the moon — where would we go next? Well, sadly, humans haven’t ventured that far again – yet anyway – but with machines we’ve built, we’ve reached so much further and learned so much more and there is no end in sight.
Thank you Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins, ‘Buzz’ Aldrin, Jr., and everyone who made Apollo 11 possible and inspiring generations of children. Whether you believe it or not, you are heroes.

p.s. Ah, isn’t the internet great. I go from Facebook -> Derren Brown fan page -> Richard Wiseman’s fan page -> This blog -> Reading about the galaxies image at the top of your page -> Hubble photography page reading about that amazing image, which took a total of 11.3 days of exposure.
Nice blog by the way!
I love the internets! Thanks for visiting my little corner of it and for the compliment!
