SNAS: Apollo 11 was the first manned mission to land on the Moon. The first steps by humans on another planetary body were taken by Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin on July 20, 1969. The astronauts also returned to Earth the first samples from another planetary body. Apollo 11 achieved its primary mission – to perform a manned lunar landing and return the mission safely to Earth – and paved the way for the Apollo lunar landing missions to follow. more
You can tell this is fake, because I was there at the time and never saw Neil Armstrong once.
I think Jackie Gleason could get ya there quicker….
I remember the Apollo 11 mission very well, and very fondly and proudly. On July 20, we watched on the TV in the Fitzsimmons (Army) Hospital rec facility (my MOS training site).
…I wonder if there was someone there that wanted to talk to him about his extended car warranty and they covered it up…
My, how time flies, I was 16 when Apollo 11 occurred and watched it with my dad and brothers on our big green pleasure machine color TV. We need to go back to the moon and beyond and make dreams of space exploration alive again for new generations of 16 year old’s like it did for me and my generation. And no more pussyfooting with the muslime’s to make it politically correct either.
“Oh, it’s no world for an old man any longer. What sort of a world is it at all? Men on the moon, and men spinning around the earth, and there’s not no attention paid to earthly law and order no more.”
-“A Clockwork Orange”(1971)
I was a kid back then and I still remember when Walter Cronkite said “They’re on the moon”……was a glorious time……
Back when we had a space program rather then a Boeing defense contractor money pit. Watch Musk and Spacex get there those clowns.
Before those clowns, damn no edit
“I think Jackie Gleason could get ya there quicker….”
But only if your name is Alice.
…my, how expectations change…

“I was a kid back then and I still remember when Walter Cronkite said “They’re on the moon”……was a glorious time……”
…remember when you could believe thr media, and didn’t know Walter Cronkite was a pinko?
…good times, good times…
Bezos accomplished today what a monkey and a slide rule accomplished 72 years ago and we’re supposed to be amazed by all his technological advancements?
Just sayin…
They really should have named the ships ALICEs instead of Apollos. 😀
…here’s where it REALLY went wrong…

Asian Dad: “Oh you went to Moon? But you no open doctor office there.”

..ok, I’ll stop. Enjoy reveling in a glorious past we sold out to Democrats for wokeness and hatred…
Scorecard:
Moon Landings:
USA – 6
The ENTIRE rest of the world – 0
WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS!!!
Cynic,
Is it a coincidence there are 2 measuring systems,
Imperial
and the rest of the world.
…and Cronkite went on to sell out our troops in Vietnam by presenting Tet, an abject failure for the Communists, as a signal defeat for the United States that made the war “unwinnable”.

…I don’t care how “cool” he made the moon landings sound. It’s unforgivable how he sold out our military and handed the Communist a victory from their loss that resulted in the torture and murder of millions, all because he was a Democrat who hated Nixon and didn’t care about anything else.
…kind of seeing a pattern here…
We can fly men to the moon and safely return them to earth but we have a giant flaw when it comes to having honest elections.
I remember this very well. I was 14 at the time and hanging around outside with friends. My mother forced me to come in and watch and I was pissed. “You’ll thank me for this someday” she said. I do. Thank you, mom. xo
@ecp
I agree with you 100%.
Bezoo, Branson & the next guy are essentially ballast.
The Russians even murdered a dog in 1957.
I always peg this grand chievement to the glories of a largely law abiding, educated, and yes, overwhelming white nation. And no I am not being racist but the 1964 Kennedy immigration laws had not impacted America yet. What a different world now. Yesterday, those men were national treasures, now we celebrate men trying to breastfeed newborns
Also the anniversary of Teddy Kennedy in a neck brace after leaving poor Mary Jo to drown.
Rot in HELL TED!
The Russian dog that was shot into space and killed was named Laika.
MY son was born just the month before, he landed safely.
Deplorable Second Class

“MY son was born just the month before, he landed safely.”
…there’s a “splash down” joke in there somewhere, but I’ll let it go at congratulations on a successful (re?)entry!
Why is it that so many are worried about my car’s emissions and the same people are happy for all the rocket fuel being burning lately?
Did Bezos break through the firmament up there? 😉
According to NASA the first woman and negro for the next moon landing. Yea that’s going to work out well. 2024 target date may change to first tranny or whatever
NASA would go back, but “We lost that technology.”
@F4U
NASA has no sense of humor. They could have found a female named Alice and trained her to be an astronaut.
Then Walter Crankcase would have said “And Alice steps out on the surface of the moon” and maybe, just maybe, had let out a short giggle before composing himself.
Cher (the singer) once asked is the sun and moon are the same thing. It’s rather a good thing she’s not running NASA.
One of those days came and Ralf sent me there.
I’m hankering to go to the moon of Uranus!
When I got mooned in San Francisco it was the thrill of a lifetime!
Nobody Noticed that Bezos’ Rocket looks like a GIANT DILDO!
Still? Been a Few Hours.
No One else yet?
GIANT DILDO with a enlarged Head.
And WHITE of all things.
No bitching of racism from BLM either?
Was the crew culturally diverse enough?
I’m seeing 4 Honkies in a Giant White Dildo burning Carbon and rubbing it in Gretta & LeBrons faces.
Hmmm….
Rassissmms!
Yet men farting loudly is considered Fart Rape.
I missed seeing the landing live on TeeVee, I was with a group of high school friends on a backpacking trip in the California outback. Oh well.
Whenever I hear that song, Fly me to the Moon, I remember a guest on the Tonight Show, back in the 60s. He told about being in a night club somewhere in South America, where a beautiful woman was singing that song. Only problem was the woman didn’t speak or read english, but had memorized the words to the song, as someone had taught her. Unfortunately, the guy who taught her substituted for the word “fly”, another word that began with “F”.
& we all remember how NASA lost, or erased the original hi-quality tapes of the Apollo 11 launch …. & that’s when NASA was good
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_11_missing_tapes
““We lost that technology.””
Yeah, that made me squint my eyes when I saw that clip.
