Half A Century Ago Today...

50 YEARS AGO TODAY, at this very moment, a Saturn V rocket carrying NASA's Apollo 11 spacecraft and its three astronauts launched from Kennedy Space Center in Florida on a 3-day voyage to the Moon. This photo speaks for itself. It's a powerful image like this which is why NASA and its international partners should do everything they can to make the 2024 landing of the first woman and next man on the lunar surface, via Orion and the Space Launch System on the Artemis 3 mission, a reality... Carry on.
