The Most Remarkable Journey

Began today, July 16, 1969, at 9:32 am EDT. 40 years ago.

Can't believe it was only 40 years ago. But even more remarkable (to me anyway), it was a mere 66 years from Kitty Hawk to the moon.

Also, don't jack with Buzz Aldrin (old but still sooo good), below the fold.

Also also: the launch.
