Still slightly sane 6th grade teacher and a HUGE, HUGE scifi, U2, and David Boreanaz fan!!! Also love Philadelphia Flyers and anything to do with NASA!
@airandspace Why can't they transfer Endeavor to Texas? I understand that JSC deserves a shuttle, but didn't they think of that when the fleet was retired? Not sure why they sent one to Cali in the first place.
July 20, 1969. “Contact light, engine stop.” The Apollo 11 lunar module Eagle touched down at Tranquility Base on the Moon.
A few hours later, Neil Armstrong and I stepped foot on the Moon, with Michael Collins orbiting close-by.
An achievement resulting from years of incalculable effort, commitment, and team work.
We all did our part to see President Kennedy’s words become reality: “We choose to go to the Moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard; because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one we intend to win, and the others too.”
I couldn’t be prouder to have completed this mission with the hundreds of thousands of people that helped get us to the moon and back home. God bless the USA and all of humankind.
I'm facing an unimaginable situation. My rent is due soon, and I have nowhere else to turn. If you can help, please donate or share my story. Every little bit counts. Thank you. https://t.co/jw6sC2M0zF
