I have plans for Saturday at a public library with a telescope: the 50th anniversary of the first of 6 manned lunar landings. A party...I have my money from the bank, bus, food and whatever I like to buy.
On July 16, 1969 - Apollo 11 lifts off and took a 4-day, 250,000 mile trip to land on the moon. Astronauts Neil Armstrong (died 2012), Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin (still alive) and Michael Collins (remained in the Eagle module on the lunar surface) are the first 3 humans to land on the moon.
Tonight is a full moon, so whether or not someone was alive when the first manned lunar landing happened, you want to take a look at it and imagine humanity was able to make that journey to that shiny place in the night sky.
