55 years ago today. And my #Apollo11 landing commemorative t-shirt arrived just in time for it. My father helped develop guidance systems for the Apollo lunar lander, it’s amazing that they succeeded with the technology of that time.

On this day, in 1969, for the first time in thousands of years of human history, people walked on the surface of a celestial body that was not our world.
First, tentative steps out of the cradle by those who really did go where no-one has gone before...
"We came in peace, for all mankind"
