Apollo 11: Splashdown

50 years ago today Apollo 11 returned from it's historic trip to the moon. I always thought the hard part was getting them off the Moon. I'm still split on whether the great technical achievement was worth it. It cost billions of dollars, and didn't solve any of the problems here on earth.  Gil Scott-Heron's take can be heard here.

All from the Plain Dealer, July 25, 1969.

I miss the optimism of that era, seemed like anything was possible, even going to Mars. The Cubs were even in first place! It was gonna be their year!!!
