Anniversary of APOLLO 11 MOON LANDING

On July 20, 1969, 109 hours and 42 minutes after launch, Neil Armstrong and Edwin ‘Buzz’ Aldrin entered the lunar lander ‘Eagle’, made a final check, and the Eagle undocked from the lunar orbiter ‘Columbia’, where the third member of the crew Michael Collins, stayed in orbit around the moon. Partially manually piloted by Armstrong, the Eagle landed 0 degrees, 41 minutes, 15 seconds north moon latitude and 23 degrees, 26 minutes east moon longitude. Armstrong stepped out, and Aldrin followed 20 minutes later: human beings stepped on the moon for the first time. The two men spent 21 hours and 26 minutes on its surface. One of the astounding aspects of the mission was the seeming simplicity of the technology used to get man to the moon. According to Oliver Gassmann, professor of Technology Management, the mobile phone in your pocket has one million times more memory than the Apollo 11’s computer. Same about the procesor: the latest phones typically have more than 100,000 times the processing power of the computer that landed man on the moon 50 years ago.

“It suddenly struck me that that tiny pea, pretty and blue, was the Earth. I put up my thumb and shut one eye, and my thumb blotted out the planet Earth. I didn’t feel like a giant. I felt very, very small.” –Neil Armstrong

I often wonder how it’s like to wake up in the morning, look in the mirror and see this gorgeous face…

[eroticadventurerofderangedkind]

Cuteness overload!

This fluffy kitten needs to be protected from all the world’s hostilities and ultimately himself.

To many, he’s a tallish, unfit man who isn’t funny. From a failed and short-lived career as a stand-up to his failed and short-lived career as a sitcom actor to his failing career as a film writer/director, he disappoints with unparalleled consistency. — Richard Ayoade on himself in Ayoade on Ayoade: A Cinematic Odyssey

“We all have a script that we’re saying. It’s the script of conformity - of pleasing our parents - it’s the script that says pay your debts off - have 2.4 children - buy more salami - don’t be brilliantly brave and innovative. A script that says you will do this, that and the other, and then put bells on it. Our lives are fictions. We construct this fake reality that we’re happy, when really we want to smash everybody’s faces in and make then kneel down before us and beg for mercy.”

— Richard Ayoade, “Ayoade on Ayoade” (via whatifsomeone)
