One of the coolest things I’ve ever seen is this Apollo crew module. It didn’t go to the moon, but was part of a 1973 Skylab mission. Still. It orbited the Earth more than 800 times, and splashed down safely 200 miles off of San Diego. You can see the erosion from the heat of re-entry all around the bottom.

Kottke.org will be replaying the live CBS broadcasts of the landing and the first steps on the Moon, in “real time,” later today. Tune in here at 4:10 pm EDT for Walter Cronkite’s live broadcast of the landing, and again at 10:51 pm EDT for the epochal first step.
