A historic anniversary. On this day in 1969, the government pretended that we landed on the moon.
(Kidding! Kidding!)
(Or am I?)
(No, I was right before. Kidding.)
Seriously though, absolutely remarkable. It took humans thousands of years of civilization to attain flight. And sixty-six years to harness that knowledge to put a man on the moon... and bring him back (along with the super-smart chimpanzees).
If you ever try to put yourself in Neil Armstrong's shoes, you have to conclude one thing... Dude's got a set of brass ones.

Its a conspiracy I tell you, a conspiracy schemed up by the evil democrat JFK and his lackey LBJ.
*turns off the dripping sarcasm faucet*
Seriously, its really cool...hopefully we can land there again someday, and maybe even go to Mars.

This guy goes up to Buzz Aldrin, and... well, he totally deserved it.
What do you expect when you insult someone to their face. Aaron Burr shot a dude for insulting him too many times.

Yeah, that's what happens when you tell a dude who strapped himself to a freakin' missle pointed at the moon that he's a coward. Deserved it indeed. That loon has no clue about bravery. It's amazing any of the Apollo rockets ever got off the ground with the size of the cojones of the guys on board.

just an fyi. the reason that they ran out of fuel on the mission back wasn't because of miscalculations it was because they had to land further than they had anticipated because there were spacecraft sitting in the spot they were supposed to land...
