Happy Moon Day!

Forty-five years ago today, human beings walked on the moon for the first time. For those of us who weren't alive at the time, it's really impossible to capture the feeling that permeated our culture at that time. We grew up in a world in which people landing on the moon was part of our history, after all. I can only imagine the awe everyone must have felt as they watched live as the first people stepped onto the lunar surface.

There are tons of trivia about the first moon landing floating around the 'net today, and this article rounds up most of my favorites. Give it a read, and take the opportunity to gaze up at the night sky in wonder and admiration this evening.
