In exactly one hour, at 7:56 Tucson time, Neil will have taken his first step on the Moon exactly 50 years ago. You have an hour to get ready for this momentus event!

Okay. Coherent thoughts. I can write coherent tweets. Live streams of 50 years ago just reached the lunar landing. It's a couple hours still until Armstrong takes the first step. 'Eagle is at Tranquility'

While on the Moon they deployed EASEP (an early version of ALSEP), which detected moonquakes and had a retroreflector.

In total, Neil and Buzz collected over 20 kg of lunar samples over just about 2 hours 15 minutes outside the Lunar Module.

Apollo 11. What a magnificent day. And I wasn't even alive for it.
