ORLANDO, Fla. -- July 20 marks a historic day in space history.

Forty-one years ago, Apollo 11 landed on the moon.

On this day in 1969, Astronauts Neil Armstrong and Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin became the first men to walk on the moon’s surface after landing in a lunar module.

The landing signified a victory for the United States in the Cold War Space Race with the Soviet Union.

More than a billion people watched and listened on Earth as the events unfolded.

I’m going to a star party next month and will enjoy others show off their stuff. It’s a wonderful hobby!

I can’t post the picture I took, but I have my Gin & 7up ready for the toast in the Moonshot glass.

Again, here’s to what America once was, Dreamers AND Doers!

The ISS transits the Moon!
