Apollo 11 Astronauts National Home Coming Parade

New York City welcomes Apollo 11 crewmen in a showering of ticker tape down Broadway and Park Avenue in a parade termed as the largest in the city's history. Pictured in the lead car, from the right, are astronauts Neil A. Armstrong, commander; Michael Collins, command module pilot; and Edwin E. Aldrin Jr., lunar module pilot. The three astronauts teamed for the first manned lunar landing, on July 20, 1969.

It’ll be a hell of a day being at a parade like this when the first astronauts come home from Mars.

The largest ticker tape paarde in NYC was after the end of WWII - it took two days, and more than 5, 000 TONS of ticker tape were swept up by the Sanitation Department workers.

Do you think Indiana Jones is gonna bump into Neil Armstrong, like how he bumped into Hitler.

[mandarislibrary]

The people are so so nice. They truly celebrate the great achievement and welcome those heros nicely. What a victory👏

What a moment ! I believe that now noone will care about anything now. So sad that stupid people who do stupid things get waayyu more attention than them.

"What are they doing?" "They are flexing about stepping foot on their moon" - Two aliens discussing why humans are so happy

And no hippies on the sidelines. Unfortunately it looks like they will put hippies in the recreation of this parade for the upcoming Indiana Jones movie.

[harveypost]

[christianvelez]

El mundo estaba tan feliz aquel día, volverá a suceder algo similar? Espero que sí

[RevsAndWheels]

What's the music at start?

Edit: I found it.

[nigelwilliams]

Wow, if they put on a show like this to celebrate a faked Moon landing just imagine what they'd do to celebrate a REAL Moon landing!

[blackconservativeogee]

How did they talk from 238, 000 miles away to each other through radiation in the days of rotary phones...no way!
