One Small Step...

You may have read recently that NASA is planning a return trip to the moon. But if the news does nothing for you but induce a yawn, maybe it's because you've been there, done that - you're old enough to remember the 1969 lunar landing, in other words. What seems like no big deal today, seemed like the stuff of science fiction back then.

Now, you can relive this historic event and the awe it inspired, by visiting One Giant Leap for Mankind, a site NASA has created to commemorate the Apollo 11 mission that put man on the moon for the very first time.

Intended to honor all those involved with making Apollo 11 a success, the site includes, among other things:

• Astronaut comments. You can read transcripts of interviews conducted with astronauts Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin, Neil Armstrong and Michael Collins.
• Important documents regarding the space program, like the Cost Figures for Apollo and NASA's Guidelines for Advanced Manned Space Vehicle Program.
• Photo Galleries. See images of the assembly of the Saturn V rocket that carried the astronauts to the moon, photographs of the Apollo 11 liftoff, pictures of the astronauts on the surface of the moon and more!

Thanks to this great NASA website, with one small click of your mouse you'll be taking a giant leap in revisiting man's first trip to the moon!
