Nest - Space - Research - Moon Landing 1969

Naturally when thinking of space one first thought goes to the planets and moons in our system, especially our own expeditions there, for instance, the moon landing by the USA in 1969 is a key historic event in our space travel story as a planet. It was a milestone event which stories are still told of today, as nothing like it had ever happened before, it also started off a huge exploration into space which is still going on now with the satellites which are out millions of miles away surveying planets and even discovering new planets, moons and stars.

1969 - Apollo 11 - Spacecraft which landed Buzz Aldrin and Niel Armstrong on the moon, Armstrong taking the first steps onto the moon. Richard Nixon president at the time. On July 20, 1969, the Lunar Module Eagle separated from the Command Module Columbia. Collins, alone aboard Columbia, inspected Eagle as it pirouetted before him to ensure the craft was not damaged. 

'Throughout the descent, Aldrin had called out navigation data to Armstrong, who was busy piloting the LM. A few moments before the landing, a light informed Aldrin that at least one of the 67-inch (170 cm) probes hanging from Eagle's footpads had touched the surface, and he said: "Contact light!" Three seconds later, Eagle landed and Armstrong said "Shutdown." Aldrin immediately said "Okay, engine stop. ACA – out of detent." Armstrong acknowledged "Out of detent. Auto" and Aldrin continued "Mode control – both auto. Descent engine command override off. Engine arm – off. 413 is in."' - Wiki

Two and a half hours after landing, before preparations began for the EVA, Aldrin radioed to Earth:

This is the LM pilot. I'd like to take this opportunity to ask every person listening in, whoever and wherever they may be, to pause for a moment and contemplate the events of the past few hours and to give thanks in his or her own way.

Here men from the planet Earth first set foot upon the Moon, July 1969 A.D. We came in peace for all mankind.
