Launch Pad 39A

Today marks the 46th anniversary of the moon landing by NASA's Apollo 11. A Saturn V rocket launched the mission from Launch Pad 39A at the Kennedy Space Center in Merritt Island, Florida, USA on July 16th, 1969. That specific site is scene here. After traveling 240,000 miles in 76 hours, Apollo 11 entered into a lunar orbit on July 19. The next day, at 10:56 p.m., Neil Armstrong stepped off the ladder of the Lunar Module onto the moon’s surface and famously remarked “that’s one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind.”
