@altonbrown @Diskopreneur Have you been to his shop in McLean? I met him years ago, I think his son took over.

On this day in 1969, Apollo 11 entered lunar orbit and the crew got a close-up look at the Sea of Tranquility, where Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin would land in lunar module Eagle the next day.

55 years ago today, the #Apollo11 astronauts splashed down in the Pacific Ocean, fulfilling the second half of JFK's Moonshot: "...and returning him safely to the Earth."

“Tranquility Base here, the Eagle has landed.”

55 years ago at 4:17 PM EDT, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed on the Moon!

#OTD in 1968, LTJG Clyde Lassen flew his UH-2A Seasprite deep inside North Vietnam at night and rescued two downed naval aviators despite facing anti-aircraft fire, dense tree cover and limited illumination. When he completed the mission by safely landing on USS Jouett, he only had 5 minutes of fuel left. Lassen was the only Navy helicopter pilot awarded the Medal of Honor during the Vietnam War..

After years of planning, rehearsing, and revising a singular, spectacular event that requires precise timing and cooperation among all guests and participants, there comes a time when you just have to get on with it. https://t.co/QswnuAJ0z9

On the bridge of the container ship Dali, 4 minutes from disaster, there's one critical moment we haven't heard about yet.

The very moment the ship lost power the 1st time.

What did the pilot do, right then?

His first thought, apparently, was safety — the bridge looming ahead.

@harleycop231 @Phil_Sledge I thought it was wearing shorts 🙄

[Tim Geiger @TimGeiger76]

@harleycop231 @Deb_Waffles2020 Followed closely by Roll Me Away. More and more as I get older.

[Tim Geiger @TimGeiger76]

@NAHF Um…. I’m not convinced.

[Tim Geiger @TimGeiger76]

@guarnaschelli @FoodNetwork Cast Iron. The older the better. Grandmother’s is probably the best.

Let's see how good your memory about the space program is! #OTD in 1961, final training began for the Mercury 7 astronauts. From left to right in the photo, how many can you name?

[Tim Geiger @TimGeiger76]

@FPWellman We’ll that’s a great picture.
