It is 40 years ago today that the crew of Apollo 11 captivated the imaginations of the world by being the first men to walk on the moon. Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins, pictured here, were the NASA crewmen on the famous mission. I remember clearly watching the landing on TV in Hawaii as a teenager. What a day it was, and I am sure that the Apollo program was responsible for me wanting to be an astronaut when "I grew up!"
