Thanks for posting DaltonCraig007.
50 years ago today at 9:32 AM EST. I’m old enough to remember!! In the US, CBS News is replaying their TV coverage of that day (with the commercials intact).
I was going to bump the old Space Exploration thread for this, but decided to hold off until we get closer to the landing day of July 20/21.
If you haven't listened yet, the podcast 13 minutes to the Moon is excellent.

It truly was an epic achievement!
Nincompoops then and they still are.
At 4:17PM (EST) on July 20, 1969 - the impossible, became reality. The actual moon walk was scheduled for later that evening.
That really should freak you out!!
Thanks for that, had a genuine good laugh. RT may be very biased in politics, here pure Russian humour shines through:
“Imagine a world in which all the robots working in Africa or India are white. Further imagine that these robots take over roles that involve authority. Clearly, this would raise concerns about imperialism and white supremacy,” lead researcher Christoph Bartneck told CNN, skipping right over the concerns about robots “taking over roles that involve authority.” Giving robots power over humanity is fine, as long as they represent a diverse cross-section of the species they’re going to dominate!
Love it!
It's a great achievement.
