The summer of 1969 was an eventful one; it was a season of good and bad. Sirhan Sirhan was convicted of murdering New York Senator Robert F. Kennedy, the last episode of Star Trek aired, the Beatles snatched the top song on Billboard’s list, President Nixon pulled out 25,000 U.S. troops from Vietnam, the Manson murders happened, and a hurricane claimed the lives of more than 250 people. These are only a few of the most historic, and memorable moments of that year.

An unforgettable summer indeed, but the zenith of the summer of ‘69 was perhaps the Apollo 11 mission.

On May 18th, the Apollo 10 mission was launched. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration commenced the mission in preparation for Apollo 11, another attempt by the United States to step on the moon.

And on July 20, 1969, mission commander Neil Armstrong and crewmate Buzz Aldrin became the first and second astronauts to step on the moon.

With the success of the Apollo 11 mission, it was expected that NASA would, once again, launch another moon landing project, and yet, it never happened. Behind the historic event and all the glory, are setbacks that could have easily ended the mission prematurely, or ended the mission disastrously. It turns out that there are several reasons why we haven’t pursued going back to the moon. Let’s dive into the little-known details of the famous moon landing, and figure out the reasons why we haven’t launched another moon mission.

From the take-off, to the aftermath, here are 15 secrets about the Apollo 11 moon landing.

If Armstrong was the first man to step onto the moon, Surely the cameraman filming that first step must have been there first and deserves a bit of recognition so who was he?

You know the government is lying about something when YouTube is forced to add context below the video

Remember. The official reason we do not go back. “The information to remake all the equipment and Scenarios for a return is much to painful to recreate “. That’s what we are told

How the hell did they manage to smell the moon when they were not even breathing moon atmosphere?

Pretty sad that you can't say a prayer to the creator when you're overwhelmed by the majesty of space and your safe journey there without being hushed and ridiculed. Compared to what we hear today on TV, news and in public, we should all be praying

How could the astronauts 'smell' on the moon? Wasn't their oxygen contained and their suits air tight?!?

In 2023 I can't get a mobile signal were I live. In 1969 Nixon could call the moon, amazing.

I'm baffled as to how they were able to smell the moon when they were sealed inside their space suit. Also, I think the Alien body is just thrown in to get the attention of the viewers. People are naturally curious about that sort of thing.

The amazing thing about it is the difference in computing power between then and now. We carry around more raw computing power in our pockets today than they had back then and it took 100s of square feet of space to fit their computers.
