“...This on July 21,2011 - the 42nd anniversary of the Apollo 11’s Neil Armstrong becoming the 1st man to walk on the surface of the moon (on July 21, 1969)....”

A little nit-picking here. Neil and Buzz landed and walked on the moon on July 2oth. They launched from Tranquility Base on the 21st. But who’s counting.

On a personal note, That day, today’s final landing of the space shuttle program and my 10th wedding anniversary will be forever welded together. Those are all great dates.

July 2oth = 20th. Epic ooops.

"A little nit-picking here. Neil and Buzz landed and walked on the moon on July 2oth. They launched from Tranquility Base on the 21st. But who’s counting."

The moon mission operated using UTC (Universal Coordinated Time) and clocked the walk as beginning at 2:39 UTC on 7/21/69 - which is 22:39 EDT, 7/20/69.

So if you figure the time of your wedding in UTC, you may also have a "one small step for man" date in common. to walk on the surface of the moon

CORRECTION: to walk on the surface of the moon
