It's that time of year again, time to follow along with Apollo 11 in real time, exactly 57 years late.

Today we celebrate one of my favorite holidays! The 55th anniversary of the day humans landed on the surface of the moon by LM-5, "Eagle" carrying Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin.

To celebrate, I thought I'd share some pictures I've taken with three important project Gemini capsules. Specifically, the first capsules flown by each of Apollo 11's future crew members, years before they were selected for their famous voyage.

Gemini VIII: Neil Armstrong's first space flight with Dave Scott

Gemini X: Michael Collins' first space flight with John Young

Gemini XII: Buzz Aldrin's first space flight with Jim Lovell

On July 20, 1969 - 55 years ago today! - humans first stepped foot on another world.
