Landing it at 1 am. The middle of the night.
Shame on 0bama. Shame.
5:56 am not 1 am.
It’s typical for the shuttle to come in at night. We occasionally hear the double sonic boom if it lands from the West.
I despise Zero as much as the next FReeper but I think NASA’s judgment on when to land probably wins out.
Scratch that. 5:56 am.
From Wikipedia:
Apollo 11 was the spaceflight that landed the first humans on Earth’s Moon on July 20, 1969 (20:17:40 UTC). The mission, carried out by the United States, is considered a major accomplishment in the history of space exploration.
On July 20, 1969, Armstrong and Aldrin landed in the Sea of Tranquillity and on July 21 became the first humans to walk on the Moon.
