Google celebrates the anniversary of the first lunar landing (July 20, 1969) with Google Moon. Here's the best part. Zoom all the way in and what we've always suspected turns out to be true.
Google Moon is the birthday wish of Google software engineer Larry Schwimmer, a self-proclaimed "moon child" who writes:
"A week later, we've achieved lift-off for Google Moon. It's great to stand on the shoulders of giants, especially the brave and brilliant people at NASA we commemorate and whose data made this possible. And it's energizing to work at a company that can translate a birthday wish into a product in a week."
Too fun. Where were you on July 20, 1969? I was glued to the TV - a 12-year-old Sci-Fi and comic book fan watching the present crash inexorably into the future.
P.S. No, the screen shot is not of the first, but rather the last of the Apollo missions to the moon.
1. I was in utero. I got here 11 days late for the party.
Hey, you asked!
