42 Years Ago Today: "Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed."

It was 42 years ago today that the world heard the words "Tranquility Base here, the Eagle has landed".

 

In this shot, a Lunar Lander mock-up sits among several of the flying machines that preceded it and contributed to its development and the landing on the moon, and many flying machines that were its contemporaries.

 

Happy 42nd Lunar Landing Anniversary!
