Further than any human has traveled in space

And, right on cue, Trump wants to hog the airwaves just as the flyby begins ...

Watched the first astronauts on the moon with Apollo 11 live in '69... it wasn't long until Proto-Trumpers declared it was filmed in Arizona.

Me too. Our Sunday School teacher had a party at his house with several TV's scattered here and there inside and outside.

Truly awe inspiring!

In the 60's and 70's, starting in first grade, I'd write NASA for info on the space program and they'd send thick manila envelopes with info on everything from spacecrafts to astronauts to mission details. I accumulated a stack 2 feet tall.

I'm still fascinated by space travel and all the missions NASA launches, manned and unmanned.

In about 3 minutes we're gonna break Apollo 13's record for the furthest a manned mission has ever flown in space.

FYI: The diameter of the moon is only 2159 miles. About the distance from Nashville to San Francisco.

And the surface area of the moon is smaller than Asia's.
