Dear Reader,<\/p>\n

National Moon Day is observed annually on June 20. It commemorates the landing of American astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin on the moon in 1969. Raise your hand if you (are old enough to!) remember that day!<\/p>\n

I remember that summer night, July 20, 1969, when Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin walked on the moon. I tell my kids this story, and I know that for them, it is a story from another lifetime. They grew up knowing that man can walk on the moon, explore the surface of Mars, and that a computer is something you carry in your pocket, or wear on your wrist.<\/p>\n

\nThis web site offers “a nostalgic and personal look back at man’s first voyages to the Moon, not from the perspective of a participant, nor from that of a historian, but instead from my own perspective as a young teenager and avid follower of the space program and Project Apollo.” Kipp Teague recalls his thirteenth birthday. He remembers the embarrassment of the singing Black Angus waitresses as they delivered a cupcake topped with a sparkler, and the thrill of watching the “black & white images as Armstrong and Aldrin hopped about on the moon.” “At about 1 a.m., I switched off the TV. July 20, 1969 had come to an end, and along with it had also ended my first day as a teenager.”<\/p>\n

NASA: Apollo 11
\n
\n“The primary objective of Apollo 11 was to complete a national goal set by President John F. Kennedy on May 25, 1961: perform a crewed lunar landing and return to Earth.” This NASA site is my Apollo 11 pick of the day. It includes mission overviews, an archive of stories, a photo gallery, audio, and HD videos. “An estimated 530 million people watched Armstrong’s televised image and heard his voice describe the event as he took ‘…one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind’ on July 20, 1969.”<\/p>\n

Smithsonian Air and Space: Apollo Lunar Module
\n
\n“The Apollo Lunar Module (LM) was a two-stage vehicle designed by Grumman to ferry two astronauts from lunar orbit to the lunar surface and back.” Explore this online exhibition with seventeen annotated photos (top of the page), and then scroll down for more articles. “President Kennedy challenged the United States to get to the Moon, and it was up to the staff of the Apollo Program to figure out how to do it.”<\/p>\n
