This week in 1969, city officials carry Wernher von Braun, the first center director of NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center, on their shoulders during a celebration in downtown Huntsville following the completion of Apollo 11 -- the first crewed lunar landing.
Marshall worked with companies across America to build the Saturn V launch vehicle that sent astronauts to the moon.

Il y a 50 ans, l'énorme fusée Saturn V s'arrachait de Cap Canaveral et emportait trois hommes vers la Lune. La mission Apollo 11 commençait pour Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin et Michael Collins
Fifty years ago, the huge Saturn V rocket was pulling off Cape Canaveral and carrying three men to the moon. The Apollo 11 mission began for Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin et Michael Collins.
Greetings from the Moon is the only picture from the series that's actually made of several photos. I did 3 different pictures, trying to recreate some original NASA pictures from Apollo 11. Then I assembled them into a postcard-like montage.
This one is a remake of Buzz Aldrin saluting the American flag. My Imperial flag is too large compared to the original. That's because of Luke Skywalker that Rebel scum.

Original caption: Neil Armstrong On The Moon
Description (July 20, 1969) Apollo 11 astronauts trained on Earth to take individual photographs in succession in order to create a series of frames that could be assembled into panoramic images. This frame from Aldrin's panorama of the Apollo 11 landing site is the only good picture of mission commander Neil Armstrong on the lunar surface.

a piece of "The Real". "Apollo 11" & "Durbin Poison" in the jars behind... because everyone loves a good stash jar.

Edited Apollo 11 image of the launch of its Saturn V.
Original caption: The Apollo 11 mission, the first manned lunar mission, launched from the Kennedy Space Center, Florida via the Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) developed Saturn V launch vehicle on July 16, 1969 and safely returned to Earth on July 24, 1969. The Saturn V vehicle produced a holocaust of flames as it rose from its pad at Launch complex 39. The 363 foot tall, 6,400,000 pound rocket hurled the spacecraft into Earth parking orbit and then placed it on the trajectory to the moon for mans' first lunar landing. Aboard the space craft were astronauts Neil A. Armstrong, commander; Michael Collins, Command Module pilot; and Edwin E. Aldrin Jr., Lunar Module pilot. With the success of Apollo 11, the national objective to land men on the Moon and return them safely to Earth had been accomplished.

Taken with C9.25 Edge HD and ASI224mc camera at F/22 on September 10, 2017.
It was a GREAT morning at Phinizy Swamp in Augusta Georgia. We arrived around 720 am and both eagles were perched waiting on me. My wife and I headed straight to the tree we'd seen these eagles perched on the last two times visiting. I believe this is the female eagle, she appeared larger than the male out of this shot to the left. The bonus this morning was the moon setting early this morning was directly behind the eagles. There were many distractions, small limbs between me and our female eagle. Focusing on the eagle I was able to blur out many of the limbs. I call this image, "The Eagle Has Landed 3". I have many poses from additional images I took that morning.

Museum of Flight, Seattle, Sept. 2019. What a thrill to be in the presence of this historic spacecraft! I set the camera, photo by a kind fellow attendee.

This beautiful, historical infographic-of-sorts was designed by NASA in 1967 to give the general public a better idea of what the Apollo 11 mission was actually going to do, from lift off, to lunar landing, to splash down in the Pacific.
It’s a huge file at 4550px by 1495px so you’ll need to click the image above to see the full sized version, if you’re one of those lucky people with a triple monitor set up, this may make a rather cool desktop wallpaper.

July, 1969- Taken from about 85 miles above the moon.
This was the Apollo 11 mission. The earth was about 385,000 miles away at this point.

This is the Earth-Moon photo.

Detail-
There are several photos like this. This one can be hard to find because it is sometimes shown backwards. The ID number is "NASA photo ID AS11-44-6552"
The average distance between Earth and Moon is approximately 30 times Earth's diameter:
Front page of a UK newspaper from 50 years ago about the successful Apollo 11 moon landing. (At the time of printing the astronauts had not yet walked on the surface).
"APOLLO 11 VIEW OF MOON---An Apollo 11 oblique view of a large crater located at the northwest edge of the Sea of Nectar."
The "large" crater is Theophilus. Near it, in the path of a distinct ray is Mädler Crater. Fracastorius Crater is the lava-flooded remnant of an ancient lunar impact crater visible near the left edge. Finally, the interesting circular feature, possibly/probably(?) another impact crater nearly submerged by a lava flow is Daguerre...which contains an odd 2-km crater,

that (I think) is the source of the above referenced ray.
Regardless if I'm right or wrong, it's cool.

"A 70mm Airborne Lightweight Optical Tracking System (ALOTS) camera, mounted in a pod on a cargo door of a U.S. Air Force EC-135N aircraft, photographed this event in the early moments of the Apollo 11 launch. The mated Apollo spacecraft and Saturn V second (S-II) and third (S-IVB) stages pull away from the expended first (S-1C) stage. Separation occurred at an altitude of about 38 miles, some 55 miles downrange from Cape Kennedy. The aircraft's pod is 20 feet long and 5 feet in diameter. The crew of the Apollo 11 lunar landing mission are astronauts Neil A. Armstrong, Michael Collins, and Edwin E. Aldrin Jr."

This one is a remake of Neil Armstrong walking on the moon, shot by Buzz Aldrin.
Buzz Aldrin is deploying the Solar Wind Collector (SWC), a foil sheet which he is pointing at the Sun. Note the word 'Shade' printed on the bottom of the back side. The word 'Sun' is printed on the sunward side. At the end of the EVA, after leaving the SWC exposed to the Sun for about 1 hour and 17 minutes, Buzz will roll up the foil and pack it in a bag for analysis back on Earth. Note the considerable clearance between the bottom of the Descent Engine bell and the surface beneath it. Little West Crater is near the horizon on the lefthand side of the image. Note the pattern of scratch marks running from the MESA toward the lower left that were created by the TV cable as Neil Armstrong took the camera away from the LM on the tripod. Neil's footprints are generally to the right of the cable scratches as he moved sideways out from the Lunar Module. Several potentially foot-grabbing loops remain in the cable. The rendezvous radar and various antennas on the top of the ascent stage are labeled in a detail ( 223k ).
