Today, July 20, 2005 marks the thirty-sixth anniversary of the Moon landing, which according to me is man’s greatest achievement in the field of science. It is also an example of determined resolve of man who if puts his mind to anything can literally achieve anything. The only thing that limits our abilities is our imagination. Rest all is simply hard work and determination. Of course, Wikipedia has a complete description of the Apollo project.

Hi Patrix
I remember that day very well. I was only as old as my little boy but I was so excited and interested in the whole thing. I remember watching the T.V. for hours and hours keeping track of the progress. And I remember seeing Neil Armstrong step on the moon.
That was something unique to my generation: a precious moment that all Americans and people around the world could share; a moment of true human accomplishment. There may not be a moment as important as that in my child’s life. I wish it were otherwise, of course.

Hi Patrix,
Google just unveiled Google Moon in honour of this anniversary. I didn’t find anything fancy there, though, except for the nice skyline you get at the highest magnification …

Hey Patrix,
I saw a very convincing episode on History Channel which showed proof that the Moon landing never happened! Sure it was aired more for controversy - but neverthless have we had any landings aftrewards did we???

Michael, sorry I have no recollection…I wasn’t born yet :)
Abi, I had imagined Google to put up an appropriate logo on their homepage (which they have) but Google Moon is so much better. Thanks for the link.
Aurora, I had received that “conspiracy theory” via email but it is strange that History Channel choose to televise that. BTW there were missions to the moon after the first landing too.
Nomadic, and hopefully we go further.
