"Houston, Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed."
Tonight, these words, spoken by Neil Armstrong, turn 45.
The first manned lunar landing succeeded exactly 45 years ago, at 20:17 UTC.
(21:17 UK time / 22:17 German time, or roughly 80 minutes after this post.)
I remember watching a huge program on the conspiracy on this. Was pretty eye opening. All in all amazing if they did actually land there and if they pulled it off.
Certainly an amazing feat in humanity, I do despise how America brag about it but that's what they do they did race to get a man on the moon and they did it well. As far as I remember, it's been a long time since a man last stepped on the moon I believe. Which is a shame but I suppose they have spent all the money they need on that part of the research.

People often seem to forget that, in total, 6 missions landed on the moon. Not just one. And all of them left evidence there or brought it back to earth.
I'd really like to see that again during my lifetime. Not necessarily the Mars, a moon landing would be exciting enough. Maybe install a webcam there I'm not convinced that today's computer technology is able too. Judged by the fault rate in hardware and software, not the performance
