Apollo 7 marked the first crewed flight of the Saturn IB and Apollo command and service module. A little over two months later, Apollo 8 became the first crewed flight of the Saturn V, carrying three NASA astronauts beyond low Earth orbit and around the Moon for the first time. Over the next seven months, Apollo 9 and 10 flew, and then, on July 20, 1969, Eagle landed, and Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin walked on the Moon.
These pioneers did the impossible and showed the world something extraordinary. After a very long wait, we are finally picking up where these great American heroes left off 🌖🇺🇸
