[TVARC] This Day in History: 50th Anniversary of Humankind's Arrival on the Moon!

[Anthony Hackenberg]

 Hi,

In case you have missed all the media hype this month, here's a reminder to
reflect later tonight on the historic landing on the Moon on July 20,
1969.  Try to take a walk outside tonight and if it's clear in your area,
look up at the Moon (assuming it's visible in your area) and thoughtfully
reflect on the great achievement humankind made 50 years ago today and the
brave men and women of NASA and its contractors that had "the right stuff"
to make it happen.

This day in history: *50th Anniversary* of Apollo 11's (1st) moon landing &
moon walk

[On July 20, 1969] At 10:56 p.m. EDT, American astronaut Neil Armstrong,
240,000 miles from Earth, speaks these words to more than a billion people
listening at home: “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for
mankind.” Stepping off the lunar landing module Eagle, Armstrong became the
first human to walk on the surface of the moon.
