50th Anniversary 2019

"Man on the Moon" https://www.cbsnews.com/news/man-on-the-moon-50th-anniversary-of-the-apollo-11-landing-cbs-news-special/
"One of the greatest achievements in the history of mankind began on July 16, 1969 – exactly 50 years ago today... Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins climbed on top the world's most powerful rocket and blasted off on their way to the moon." CBS News

Someday, when mankind again returns to the moon, they will find American flags still standing: https://sservi.nasa.gov/articles/apollo-moon-flags-still-standing/ As one gazes up at the sky, that is a pretty amazing thought.

Tonight's Full Moon glows brightly in the night sky as a reminder of the USA making history half a century ago.
Science Fiction became Reality.
