This Saturday, July 20 marks the 50th anniversary of Apollo 11 Commander Neil Armstrong being the first man to step onto the surface of the Moon. In 1969, the spacecraft’s lunar module successfully landed in the Sea of Tranquility (Mare Tranquillitatis), defining man’s ability to overcome enormous technical challenges. It was an amazing accomplishment. Three men had traveled to the Moon atop a rocket that contained less technology than an average mobile phone built today.
