On this day in 1969, astronauts Neil Armstrong and Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin became the first men to walk on the moon after reaching the surface in their Apollo 11 lunar module.
And these days half the country’s population think the landing was faked. What a shitty state the world is in right now.

It was not fake. Cameras were primitive compared to your phone camera today. That’s all just blurry photography.

Why the flag ain’t got no shadow?

For the ones who’ll bring out the fluttering in the flag, the wrong coating had been applied to the telescoping rod, so it wouldn’t fully extend, which is why the flag looks like it is waving in the wind.

We watched it on TV. I was 5, but almost 6. Talk about mind blown

Can’t forget about Michael Collins, who was orbiting the moon the while time they were down there
