Infinite inspiration, Apollo 11’s greatest task. Of all the major milestones in the continuum of human advancement — mastering fire, inventing the wheel, discovering electricity, harnessing atomic energy, creating the Internet — another that comes to the top of list happened nearly 50 years ago, when astronaut Neil Armstrong stepped down from the Apollo 11 Lunar Module and placed his heavily booted foot on the surface of the Moon. “We choose to go to the Moon and do other things,” President Kennedy announced in 1961, “not because they are easy, but because they are hard.” I was one of the inspired. Growing up, I was captivated by the space shuttle program and the idea that a vehicle could take off, fly into space, then come back, land on Earth like an aircraft, and be reused. I was fascinated by what it would take to design and build something like that and by the people who could fly and operate it. Hundreds of years from now, when humans are liv...

The Apollo 11 mission through the astronauts' heart rates On the Apollo 11 blastoff, “Neil Armstong’s rate was a little higher than everybody else’s, because he’s in charge of everything—you expect his adrenaline to be up,” reflects Dr. Ed Powers, the director of the aerospace medicine residency program at the University of Texas Medical Branch and a former NASA flight surgeon during the Shuttle era.  “He’s the guy ultimately responsible for flipping all the switches required for launch—I would be surprised if his heart rate wasn’t higher than the others.” This chart of Armstrong's heart rate is in the biomedical section of the Apollo 11 Mission Report. NASA. The mission was hazardous and full of unknowns. And yet their heart rates during the launch stayed reasonably normal: Armstrong’s was the highest, at 110 beats per minute, Collins’ was 99, and Aldrin’s a low 88. https://www.facebook.com/groups/345739739422913/

The heroes from Apollo 11 Here we see Aldrin, Armstrong and Collins on Jan. 10, 1969, standing in front of a mock up of the lunar module, after the NASA press conference that introduced them as the primary crew for the Apollo 11 mission .

On July 20, 1969, the astronaut Neil Armstrong became the first human being to walk on another world, famously marking the moment with the phrase: “That’s one small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind.” After months of preparation, preceded by years of development and testing, the crew of NASA’s Apollo 11 lifted off from Florida on July 16, arriving at the moon on July 19. While Command Module Pilot Michael Collins remained in lunar orbit, Armstrong and Lunar Module Pilot Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin descended to the surface and spent two and a half hours on the moon, setting up experiments, taking photos, and gathering samples. After their safe return home, the crew were celebrated by politicians and the public as they embarked on a 45-day goodwill tour, visiting a total of 27 cities in 24 countries.
