July 20, 1969: One Giant Leap For Mankind - NASA

Quite an amazing feat when you think about it. Our current phones have a million times more RAM memory, seven million times more ROM memory, and 100,000 times more processing power than Apollo 11 did.

Thank you for highlighting that @Bambino, a really historic anniversary that had completely passed me by.

 

I am quite surprised that there has not been wide coverage of it on outlets such as the BBC but the aftermath of yesterday's IT issues seems to have overshadowed everything else. 👍

I missed this earlier. A wonderful historic event. I didn't realise it was so long ago.

I remember clearly where I was when watching the monochrome tv from NASA live.

Thank you @Bambino for posting.
