The Boston Globe's site Boston.com has a terrific series of 40 photos about the Apollo moon landing 40 years ago. Most are pictures I've never seen. I encourage you to go look.
Amidst all the world's cynicism and uproar today, this story continues to inspire, and for good reason.
My favorite pair: Neil Armstrong before the launch...
...and after he'd walked on the moon:
I know these astronauts were all "Right Stuff" military test pilots, but I knew an awful lot of hippies who had exactly that same grin on their faces in 1969, for very different reasons. :-)
Call me a fool, but humanity continues to inspire me. That was forty years ago, people. Think what more we will achieve.
