Walking On The Moon - Apollo 11
‘The Eagle Has Landed:’ Happy Anniversary, Apollo 11
Forty Three years ago today, Neil Armstrong uttered those iconic words. While NASA controllers in Houston, and much of the planet, held its collective breath, Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin set down the Eagle Lunar Module, becoming the first men to land on the moon. Apollo 11 blasted off from Cape Canaveral, Fla. on July 16, 1969. Four days later, the Eagle Lunar Module separated from the main spacecraft and Armstrong and Aldrin began their descent to the surface of the moon. At 4:17 p.m. Eastern Time, the Eagle touched down with only 25 seconds of fuel to spare. When Armstrong announced the landing, Charles Duke, the Capsule Communicator in Houston, spoke for millions across the world when he said, “Roger, Tranquillity, we copy you on the ground. You got a bunch of guys about to turn blue. We’re breathing again. Thanks a lot.” But the wait was only beginning.
