LUNAR LANDING LAUGHS
Google's cheesy joke honours the Apollo 11 lunar landing
20 July 2005

To mark the anniversary of the first manned Moon landing, the goofy folks at Google have put together a map of the lunar landscape using NASA imagery. The interactive image pinpoints where all six moon missions touched down, starting with Apollo 11 on July 20, 1969.

If you’re really interested in the surface on which Neil Armstrong’s footsteps fell, zoom as far as you can for proof of a childhood tale and Google’s geeky (but perfect) sense of humour. Visit Google Moon to find out more.
