50th Anniversary Of Apollo 11 retweeted
50 Years Ago Today: The Apollo 11 astronauts come out of quarantine and begin their World Tour. First stop? An event in Houston to honor 400 NASA employees. One of the coolest pieces in my collection — a signed program from that event.
Happy Birthday to Neil Armstrong, who would have been 89 today. I have four of his signatures, which I greatly cherish. This one, on the New York Times from the next day, is the most valuable piece of memorabilia that I own.
Still can’t get over the Apollo 11 butter display at the @OhioStateFair
Parting with this full framed newspaper too today. My favorite launch cover — the Boston Globe rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?m…
Selling this awesome full San Jose Mercury paper today on eBay. Have at it Apollo 11, lovers! rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?m…
When you have people who tell you the moon landing was simulated in a studio, ask them these questions. When they entered the rocket did they ever go up? When they splashed down, when did they go up and how did they get up? The moon could have been faked. Other parts are harder.
This day in 1969: The general public learns just how close Apollo 11 was to not landing on the moon. Chris Kraft, who died this week at 95, explains
Fascinating, and horribly sad, details surrounding Neil Armstrong’s death and the huge settlement his family got. apple.news/Ao9_7WlqgSuSCNWxg…
50 years ago today: The most amazing customs form ever filled out. Apollo 11 splashes down in the Pacific Ocean, the three astronauts sign a customs declaration form. States departure from “moon” carrying “moon rock.” NASA recently said “it was a little joke at the time.”

Apollo 11 hats that Astros wore tonight have sold out and are reselling on eBay for $100-$125 apiece.
There was only one good picture of Neil Armstrong on the moon because @TheRealBuzz Buzz didn’t have his own camera. An incredible “what if” picture by @ryannagata of Neil taking the famous picture of Buzz!

My love for Apollo 11 has a flip side. The hype around the 50th anniversary has made the best collectibles more valuable. One of my favorite items — their first public autographs after coming back from the moon — will have a new owner today ebay.com/ulk/itm/18388816144… @eBay
