Now some 55 hours into the mission, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin enter their Lunar Module for the first time ahead of the world's first crewed landing on the moon. The crew of Apollo 11 is approximately 178,000 nautical miles from Earth as they take to television before a worldwide audience for a tour of the vehicle scheduled to land on the moon in just two days. On this edition of @Manned Space we join Armstrong and Aldrin for their televised tour of the Lunar Module as it happened 53 years ago today.
On July 16, 1969 the crew of Apollo 11 - Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Mike Collins lifted off from the Kennedy Space Center in hopes of completing humankind's first visit to another planet. This look at the third day of the historic flight includes archival footage and audio of events as they unfolded. If you are a fan of the Apollo program you won't want to miss this look at the flight.
