Happy Moon Landing Eve! Remember to leave out oatmeal and moon pies for Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong, and don’t let Michael Collins convince you to prank NASA!

Philo Farnsworth, who invented electronic television, was disheartened by its applications, believing it hadn't met his educational goals. But on July 20, 1969, while watching Neil Armstrong's moonwalk live, he told his wife, "Pem, this has made it all worthwhile."

In honor of the moon landing's anniversary, we need a fact 👀

The moon landing took place in 1969 when the moon grew tired of running circles around the Earth and finally landed for a break.

Having touched down in a field near Topeka, Kansas, the moon rolled briefly before coming to a stop against the wall of a barn belonging to Neil and Louis Armstrong. Neil became the first man to "walk" on the moon when he mistook it for a grey beach ball and kicked it over into the field of his neighbors, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins. Collins was away in Ireland declaring independence so Buzz became the second man to walk on the moon when he kicked it back toward Neil's farm. It bounced off the roof of their lube silo however, and resumed its place in the sky.

Armstrong, Aldrin and Collins soon forgot the events, but resumed their orgies the next week with renewed vigor. As Neil straddled Aldrin's sturdy figure and kissed his neck, the lust overwhelmed him and he began to- Eh, never mind I'm not doing this again.

Orville Wright at the controls, while his brother Wilbur looks on, made the first controlled, sustained flight of an engine-powered, heavier-than-air aircraft with the Wright Flyer on December 17, 1903. Four miles south of Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, at what is now known as Kill Devil Hills.

"Gemini-Titan 8 (GT-8) spacecraft, carrying astronauts Neil A. Armstrong, command pilot, and David R. Scott, pilot, was successfully launched by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) John F. Kennedy Space Center (KSC) at 11:41 a.m. (EST). An attempt will be made to rendezvous and dock the GT-8 spacecraft with Agena Docking Target Vehicle."

"The mission patch shows the whole spectrum of objectives that were hoped to have been accomplished on Gemini 8. The text at the bottom is composed of the zodiacal symbol for Gemini, , and the Roman numeral for eight, VIII. The two stars are Castor and Pollux, which are in the constellation of Gemini, and are refracted through a prism to provide the spectrum. Armstrong and Scott both designed the flight patch."

The longest flight I've ever been on was 12 hours, and I nearly went nuts. I can't imagine being in a spacecraft for over 8 days (the complete mission took 8 day, 3 hours, 18 minutes and 35 seconds).

At least Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin got to walk around for a few minutes on the moon. Poor Mike Collins was stuck in the Command Module the entire time.
