8/69 - Astronaut
NASA

On July 20, 1969, the ambitious goal set eight years before by President John F. Kennedy achieved stunning success when American astronauts planted their feet firmly on lunar soil and took a two and a quarter hour walk on the moon.  Edwin ("Buzz") Aldrin was photographed by Neil Armstrong  with their lunar module, the Eagle, reflected in Aldrin's visor. The first human footprint on the barren moon marked, Armstrong radioed back to earth, a small step for a man, but "a giant leap for mankind."   And then Aldrin, Armstrong and the third Apollo 11 astronaut, Michael Collins, got back into their space ship and went back home, forever heroes of history's greatest exploration.
