Tonight marks the thirty-fifth anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing (
link to CNN story). You can relive that historic moment through the video and audio files at
NASA’s 35th Anniversary site. Other material is still available at
their 30th anniversary site (including
this photo gallery). The
pièce de résistance is at
Panoramas.dk:
Neil Armstrong’s 360° view the lunar surface. It’s almost hard to imagine now a time when American technology and rocket power united the globe, and were used “in peace for all mankind.”
[3:41 PM] Update: according to
Science@NASA, one of Apollo 11’s lunar experiments
is still in use today.
