Default 40 years ago today....

The first manned mission to the moon took place. Hastily put together to beat a Russian attempt ( that never actually happened ) the crew of Frank Borman, Commander, James A. Lovell and William A. Anders, took off from KSC at 07:51, on a hazardous mission to circumnavigate the moon, and take hi-res photos of the Apollo landing sites.

On the way round, Anders took probably the most famous photo in history.

It was a momentous occasion, I remember watching it all, I have the greatest admiration for the whole NASA team and all their accomplishments.
