On this date in 1969...


On July 20th, 1969 two American Astronauts, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin on the Apollo 11 Mission, landed on the moon.

I remember watching TV at the home of Billy and Bobby Robbins (singer and bassist for the rock band Fantasy) while their drummer Greg stated "Wouldn't it be funny is the moon were really made of cheese?" Maybe Greg had been smoking something.

This was a time long before the digital age and much of the equipment used by NASA was analog. I remember someone saying many of the calculations used on this flight were done by slide rulers...

Are you kidding me?

Some say it was a hoax and that America was in a cold war with Russia so the entire mission was staged. Possible?
