Todaxy is the 44th annivversary of the first manned landing on the Moon, and the first since the passing of Apollo 11's commander, Neil Armstrong. Happily, the other two crew members, Buzz Aldrin and Mike Collins, are still with us.
The 1960s were marked by assassinations, wars, great power rivalry, and civil unrest. All those things have precedents going back deep into human history. The one unprecedented event of the decade saw humans leave their home world and land on another. A thousand years from now, if society doesn't collapse in the meantime, that decade will be remembered for one event-- the flight of Apollo 11.
