Are you following the timeline of the Apollo 11 mission?

Asked by LuckyGuy (43702points) July 19th, 2019

I printed out the Apollo 11 mission timeline from NASA and have been following along since their lift off on the morning of July 16 .
As I write this, 7/19 morning, they are preparing to fire their lunar orbit insertion burn after have been accelerating toward the moon for 14 hours.
When yo listen to the recordings everyone seems so calm and collected when you know they must be screaming inside.
It brings tears to my eyes.

Do you remember where you were when they landed 50 years ago? Will you do anything special to celebrate?
I will fire a few photons at the moon and let the retroreflector placed by Aldrin and Armstrong send them back to me.
