Apollo 11: The NASA Mission Reports | Robert Godwin

Having finished one book today, I've only got five others concurrently on the go! I'm feeling my reading energy quite thinly spread, which happens at times. Now, I want to try to focus on one at a time, so Apollo 11 it is, as that's likely to be the quickest to finish.

I‘m sure that many of you have seen the video associated with this week‘s Google doodle commemorating the Apollo 11 moon landing, but if you haven‘t, I really recommend it. The animation and the narration of pilot Michael Collins are simple, but overall it is a lovely tribute to that wondrous event fifty years ago today. https://youtu.be/uzbquKCqEQY

Apollo 11: The NASA Mission Reports | Robert Godwin

Some of the artist's impressions of the moon landing from the press release of 6th July 1969. Just reading these rather dry NASA technical reports and press releases gives me a frisson of excitement I hadn't quite expected. I was aged 5-7 through the Apollo missions and they had a huge effect on me at the time which obviously still resonates 👨🏻‍🚀

DivineDiana Last night, I watched the CNN film- Apollo 11- of historic footage from the launch. Fascinating! 5y

Bookwomble @DivineDiana It was such an incredible time. I wish as a global community we would put more of our resources and ingenuity into exploration than into trying to kill each other. The Apollo missions can still be a beacon for that cooperation and sense of belonging, I think. 5y

DivineDiana I think so too! ✌🏻 5y
