Houston, Tranquility Base here, the Eagle has landed... The Apollo 11 mission made headline news and was on the cover of LIFE magazine for weeks on end. This photo was taken after the 151 minutes long lunar spacewalk and shows the stars & stripes on the lunar surface. The flag had a horizontal fold-out gold-anodized support rod in order to give it a waving appearance. More information, see: NASA publication  "Where No Flag Has Gone Before: Political and Technical Aspects of Placing a Flag on the Moon", published in 1993. (Photo: MoonwatchUniverse)

"We choose to go to the Moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard; because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one we intend to win, and the others, too." -- President John F.
