I feel like the big themes of Lunar Landing Day/National Moon Day are science, human ingenuity, understanding, hope/determination, and a bit of whimsy. Hope and determination to use said science and human ingenuity to come together and make the world we shepherd a better place for all of us. An understanding of our place in the universe and how we can keep it safe.


On the more whimsical side of the holiday: Remember to leave out oatmeal and moon pies for Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong, and don’t let Michael Collins convince you to prank NASA πŸ˜‰

Pranking he who was recently *going* to be NASA admin until the plug was pulled is fine though, yeah? XD XD

I've always thought highly of Michael Collins. Perennially overlooked and treasured, that man. Columbia was his baby, to quote a nonfiction book on the lunar landing read years ago - shoot, I should find that again. I bet he'd have excellent, and excellently apt, prank ideas, in the vein of 'foul up NASA, risk any more of our beloved for frivolous and/or uninformed reasons, and your rear end is turf grass'.

I'd entirely missed that, so it's too late for me now (being in Europe). Oh well...

I do like that there's a celebration for that; it's a huge accomplishment, after all!

Hmmm, maybe I should have looked up the actual date or realised that "eve" implies an actual day after it... Thanks for informing me in any case!

I think I can manage to do that today!
