Forty years ago today, the world watched men land on the moon. We have a couple of links about the Apollo 11 mission.

Of course, if you think it was all a hoax, I have nothing to offer.

Yeah, that's pretty cool. Somewhere in a box I have dozens of pictures I took from the TV. They came out pretty good.

Later, I bought packets of photos published by the Government Printing Office. Really good quality reproductions, 8x10s most of them. Back then they were really cheap.
