Kosmos-Special: Moon Landing's 54th Anniversary

“The engineers were brilliant, the technicians skilled, the astronauts brave.”
—Space expert Josh Hopkins, Blue Origin

Apollo 11 launched from Cape Kennedy on July 16, 1969, carrying Commander Neil Armstrong, Command Module Pilot Michael Collins, and Lunar Module Pilot Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin. Four days later, the crew landed on the Moon, marking a giant leap for humankind. The astronauts captured this significant trip, practically every moment of it, with a modified Hasselblad camera (see below). From mundane to profound, the full catalogue with thousands upon thousands of snapshots are available at the Project Apollo Archive Flickr.

As July 20th marked the Moon landing’s 54th anniversary, let’s experience the voyages from the crew’s point of view and revisit the various Apollo missions.
