NATIONAL MOON DAY
National Moon Day on July 20 commemorates the day man first walked on the moon in 1969. NASA reported the moon landing as being โ...the single greatest technological achievement of all time.โ
#NationalMoonDay
On July 20, 1969, Apollo 11 carried the first humans to the moon. Six hours after landing on the moon, American Neil Armstrong stepped onto the lunar surface. He spent two and a half hours outside the spacecraft. Buzz Aldrin soon followed, stepping onto the lunar surface. After joining Armstrong, the two men collected 47.5 pounds of lunar material. Their specimens would make the journey back to Earth to be analyzed.
In the command module, a third astronaut waited. Pilot, Michael Collins, remained alone in orbit until Armstrong and Aldrin returned.
Caught up in the thrill of the adventure, millions of Americans watched the mission from Earth. Televisions around the world tuned in to the live broadcasts. The astronauts had a worldwide audience. As a result, all witnessed as Armstrong stepped onto the moon's surface and described the event as "one small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind."

He was a sanctimonious phony.
Plus I remember him unguarded once saying he supported socialists but always backed every Democrat.
Thank you for posting. I was looking for this.
I will have to cross this off my list of items I am search of.
Moon your neighbor night?

Marking 56 years ping.
Columbia ๐๏ธ splashed down on Tisha b’Av. The first calamity associated that date is the evil report that doomed the generation of the Exodus to die in the desert.
40 years in the wilderness were decreed as a year for each day of the 40-day scouting expedition that resulted in the sin of the spies.
10 out of 12 spies agreed: “No Can-DO!”
Hebrew “day for a year” word play:
56 is the sum of the word “day” [ืืื, yom].
Thus the completion of 56 years is one day.
These things take time.
The problem with Rome was that it was not built in a day.
The word for “red tape” is sachevet, the disease of dragging:
ืกึทืึถึฝืึถืช f.n. โred tapeโ. [Lit.: โdisease of draggingโ. Coined from ืกืื according to the pattern ืคึทึผืขึถืึถืช, serving to form names of diseases...

If Apollo 10 was allowed to land their Snoopy LM, shortly after landing they would have said, “Tranquility Base here. The Beagle has landed.”
"That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind."
Fate
Ascent stage: Abandoned in lunar orbit; current location unknown
Descent stage: Landed at Tranquility Base; still there
Recall that ืฆืคื ืช ืคืขื ื Tzafnat Paaneach (=828) ends with an ankh [ืขื ื], the key of life. The tradition is that Joseph was born in the month of Tammuz.
4 verses "according to the time of life" [ืืขืช ืืื], which is the same sum (513) as the first five letters of the Torah, ืืจื ืฉื: "He created a gift"
"Adding to 513 its reverse (315), we get a palindrome (828)."

WE CAME IN PEACE FOR ALL MANKIND
A great day to moon someone.
A lot of those songs were on our April 2024 Eclipse playlist. We silenced it as the eclipse went towards totality and resumed it when it started getting light again.
I am amazed that there are still some who believe that the moon landings were somehow faked despite ample proof to the contrary and the impossibility of keeping such a conspiracy that would have involved thousands of witnesses secret for more than half a century.
