July 20, 2004: Man On The Moon

On July 20, 1969 -- 35 years ago today -- human beings first set foot on the moon, part of the Apollo 11 mission. Now NASA has created an archive of pictures and other data from the Apollo project. Many pictures have been rescanned from the original films, but at a much higher resolution.

Enjoy, and remember that we can accomplish great things in an astonishingly brief time, when we want to.
