Splashdown of #Apollo11 occurred 54 years ago today. Our descent back through the heat of Earth’s atmosphere was appropriately capped with a cool dip in the Pacific, and our recovery by our dedicated military services solidified a safe and successful return from the Moon. The splashdown operation marked the start of after-action work ahead following our quarantine. In many ways, the end of Apollo XI was really just the beginning.
@TheRealBuzz Thank you for sharing this piece of history and inspiring us all Dr. Aldrin!
@TheRealBuzz That was so cool when NASA was a real space company! What do they actually do now? Distribute funds sucked from congress?
@TheRealBuzz Just stop. It’s over. Nobody believes this anymore.
@TheRealBuzz I would like to hear about the trip through the VanAllen Radiation Belts. That must’ve been something!
@TheRealBuzz Unforgettable historical moments! Man's first trip to the moon and safe return to Earth! 👏❤⭐🌚Question: Why is the same trip 54 years later so hard to do again?🤔
@TheRealBuzz Absolutely riveting television coverage. I'm pretty sure I was holding my breath
@TheRealBuzz Buzz saw the trailer with “quarantine van” being hauled back into NASA. Lights an sirens”. Congratulations and thanks.
@TheRealBuzz So awed by your accomplishments Mr. Aldrin!!! You made us all proud.
