Photos of the Week: The Apollo 11 moon mission

Not only was it a proud moment in history for American's, it was an epic moment for our race - human beings traveled bodly to the moon that orbits our blue planet, a human for the first time stepped on another world not our own.  On July 20th, 1969 the Apollo 11 mission successfully landed on the moon with Commander Neil Armstrong saying those famous words, "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind."

This Monday marks the 40th anniversary of the Apollo 11 mission and here on NFD I wanted to celebrate that with some high quality photos from that mission.

Apollo 11 crew:

  • Commander Neil Armstrong
  • Command module pilot Michael Collins
  • Lunar module pilot Edwin Eugene "Buzz" Aldrin Jr.
