Happy Moon Day!
Thirty three years ago today, men from earth first walked on its moon and another planet. For anyone who wants to commemorate this momentous event, we've developed a ceremony here.
Use it as an excuse to get together with family or friends. Many who have read it aloud found it a profound experience. And if you do, let me know how it went.

My son's Cub-Scout den went to the Kennedy Space Center on the 20th and there wasn't a single official reference to the Apollo XI anniversary, even at the Apollo exhibit!!! Not even a banner!!!!!
Maybe NASA thinks of Apollo and Saturn as "old tech" and not worth celebrating anymore....I dunno....
