Apollo 11 astronaut Buzz Aldrin walks on<br />
the surface of the moon. Neil<br />
Armstrong, Apollo 11 commander and<br />
the first man to walk on the moon, took<br />
this photograph with a 70mm lunar<br />
surface camera.<br />
The <strong>July</strong> 20, 1969, lunar landing was<br />
an unprecedented achievement—a<br />
milestone in human history. How did it<br />
happen? It was the result of decades of<br />
relentless scientific development as well<br />
as courageous astronauts who were<br />
determined to explore the unknown.<br />
Technologies that are common today<br />
came out of Apollo space research. CAT<br />
scans, computer microchips, cordless<br />
devices and satellite television are but a<br />
few. Scientific knowledge gained from<br />
NASA programs continue to enhance<br />
the quality of life today.<br />
