On this day in 1969, the Apollo 11 spacecraft was launched from Kennedy Space Center in Florida, USA.
The crew consisted of three astronauts: Commander Neil Armstrong, Command Module Pilot Michael Collins, and Lunar Module Pilot Buzz Aldrin.
The launch vehicle used for Apollo 11 was the Saturn V rocket, one of the most powerful rockets ever built. It propelled the spacecraft into Earth orbit and then on a trajectory towards the Moon. The launch was a crucial step in the mission's objective to land humans on the lunar surface. After successfully reaching space, the Apollo 11 spacecraft orbited the Earth before executing a series of engine burns to set a course for the Moon. The journey to the Moon took approximately three days.
The Apollo 11 mission is best known for the historic moon landing that occurred a few days later. On July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong became the first human to set foot on the lunar surface, famously declaring, "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind." Buzz Aldrin joined him shortly afterward, and together they conducted experiments and collected samples during their time on the Moon.

Well done @GaryLineker for standing up for refugees.
Well done @IanWright0 for showing the meaning of solidarity.
Now, let's mobilise against a politics of cruelty, and defeat this inhumane, illegal & immoral legislation.
That large penises are seen as desirable is just another symptom of western degeneration. Large penises are a sign of low intelligence and savage genetics. Small penises indicate high intelligence and aristocratic blood.
