Happy Anniversary


Forty years ago we (The United States) put men on the moon. Seems like an unbelievable feet these days. Imagine the progress that could have been made had we stuck with this monumental accomplishment for mankind.

On July 16th, 1969 Mission Commander Neil Alden Armstrong, Command Module Pilot Michael Collins, and Lunar Module Pilot Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin, Jr. shot from earth in the Apollo module headed to the moon.



On this day July 20, 1968 Armstrong and Aldrin became the first humans to set foot on the moon.


Boston.com is running a special of 40 pictures to commemorate the anniversary, be sure to check them out.
