“Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed.”

    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.
