40 Years after Apollo 11: July 22

Originally written on July 22th, 2009…

Not much is happening today. Neil, Buzz, and Mike are heading home. They’re now far enough away from the Moon to where they can take a picture of the whole thing. It’s pretty much the same as when they were approaching it, except now there’s a used rocket, a nylon flag, and some science experiments on it. Plus now every Human from Earth can look up at it and say, “Yeah, we went there.”
