The Apollo 11 mission blasted off for the moon.  Here's a bit of what was going on today at the Johnson Space Center in Houston.

So where were you when it all went up (so to speak)?  I was glued to the television watching every moment.

This weekend, in honor of the momentous anniversary, I will be watching The Dish. I can still remember all the chatter between NASA and the astronauts when I hear it in the movie.   I still think the entire world stood still and held its collective breath as Neil Armstrong climbed down that ladder.

There has never been anything like it before or since.  To this day, it's still difficult to fathom the enormity of the undertaking and the incredible accomplishments of those engineers and astronauts. 

Thank you to all who made that moment possible.
