49 years ago today...the launch of Apollo 11 and the trip to the moon

It is unreal that we want to the moon at a time when a cordless phone was the size of a brief case and we were somehow able to send video footage from the moon to a black and white tv in someone’s home.
In 1969, there was no such thing as a cordless phone. It was more than a dozen year later until they firstappeared. The best anyone had back then was a radio phone connected to a radio operator.
