To the Moon

Old Wahoo loves the hoopla concerning the 40th anniversary of Apollo 11's mission to the moon and "one giant leap for mankind." There's a ton of great stuff commerorating the moonshot, though two New York Times articles stood out for me. The first, written by John Noble Wilford, puts the moon launch in context while offering a glimpse into a reporter's preparations for the historic event. The second, from the Lens blog, looks back at people's reactions to the awe-inspiring launch. 

Both make me wish I was there, and I think I may go to the library to check out a DVD on the moon launch for the kids. And hopefully, Apollo 11's legacy will continue to inspire us to reach for the heavens.
