JULY 24: #OnThisDay in 1969, Apollo 11 splashed down in the Pacific after an 8-day journey to the lunar surface and back. The craft and crew were recovered by the Navy Frogmen and flown to the USS Hornet where they continued their 20-day quarantine in a Mobile Quarantine Facility

Not since Apollo 10 in May 1969 has a moon-bound rocket sat on Pad 39B at the Kennedy Space Center. Go Artemis 1 and the KSC Team! #WeAreGoing

Any guess as to what inspired the color choice for the limited edition Casio g-Shock X NASA watch? It brings back a lot of great memories for me!
