50th Anniversary of the first Moonwalk (July 20, 2019)

 Spent the morning at the National Museum of the US Air Force to celebrate the anniversary of the Apollo 11 mission. On this date, 50 years ago, man first walked on the moon. It was one of the most remarkable achievements in history and a dream of mankind for many decades.
What we got to see there was this spacecraft which is Apollo 15, which was the fourth mission to land a crew on the moon. That was done some two years after Apollo 11 and was also a remarkable achievement. In fact all the missions were which includes the unsuccessful ones. Apollo 1 resulted in the loss of the crew, and Apollo 13, which did not land on the moon was a remarkable achievement in that the crew survived a series of disasters and returned safely to Earth.
Apollo advanced the knowledge of man, added to our understanding of the universe and has given future generations the courage to reach for the stars. It was and still is one of the most remarkable achievements that I ever saw and fills me with pride and wonder to this day.
