Riding Rockets  


The anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing passed this weekend.  The lunar landing was a riveting event that is remembered well by the Rumbear. It recently announced that Jeff Bezos has found parts of the rockets that launched the  the ship towards the moon.  

Forty-four years (and three days) after it helped launch the first men to walk on the moon, a huge rocket engine part salvaged from the ocean floor has been positively identified as a historic component of the Apollo 11 lunar landing mission.

Neil Armstrong, Ed "Buzz" Aldrin & Mike Collins will always be heroes to me.  All of those early astronauts seemed bigger than life.

Of course, as with anything, there are the naysayers. The cameras were rolling when Buzz ran in to one one day....he warned him.....

Man, I love that video....

UPDATE:  Cool photos.....
