It's Moon Landing Day!

On this, Tumblr's first celebration of Moon Landing Day, my insomnia and I bring you this humble, barely researched post of fast facts!

On July 20, 1969 at 4:17 p.m. EDT Apollo 11 becomes the first manned spacecraft to land on the moon.

Neil Armstrong (commander), Buzz Aldrin (lunar module pilot) and Michael Collins (command module pilot) were the crew.

The Apollo 11 spacecraft consisted of the command module, Columbia, and the lunar module, Eagle.

The crew traveled 240,000 miles from the Earth to the moon in 76 hours.

1:47 p.m. EDT Armstrong and Aldrin, in the lunar module Eagle, separate from the command module. Collins remains onboard the Columbia orbiting the moon.

4:17 p.m. EDT - The Eagle lands.

4:18 p.m. EDT - “Houston, Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed,” Armstrong reports. When the lunar module lands on the moon’s surface at the Sea of Tranquility, it has less than 40 seconds of fuel left.

10:56 p.m. EDT - Armstrong says, “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind,” as he becomes the first human to set foot on the moon.

11:15 p.m. EDT (approx.) - Buzz Aldrin joins Armstrong on the moon. The men read from a plaque signed by the three crew members and the president, “Here men from the planet Earth first set foot upon the Moon, July 1969 A.D. We came in peace for all mankind.”

11:48 p.m. EDT - President Nixon speaks to Armstrong and Aldrin via radio from the Oval Office, “(it) certainly has to be the most historic telephone call ever made.” They speak for two minutes and the call is televised on both ends.

Armstrong and Aldrin spend over two hours collecting moon rock samples and data, and spend the night on board the Eagle.

Neil Armstrong was born on August 5, 1930. An American astronaut and aeronautical engineer, he was the first person to walk on the Moon. He was also a naval aviator, test pilot, and university professor. On July 20, 1969, Armstrong and Apollo 11 Lunar Module (LM) pilot Buzz Aldrin became the first people to land on the Moon, and the next day they spent two and a half hours outside the Lunar Module Eagle spacecraft while Michael Collins remained in lunar orbit in the Apollo Command Module Columbia. When Armstrong first stepped onto the lunar surface, he famously said: “That's one small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind.” It was broadcast live to an estimated 530 million viewers worldwide.

The best thing about being in a fandom and having at least one gay fanon ship is feeling so proud and happy for others when a queer fanon character canonically becomes one or when a queer ship comes true. It's like sharing the same pain and being happy that the other person got over it. Not actively shipping two characters but still being excited by their queerization is like seeing the child you teach be able to do the things you taught him on his own.

May your ships come true

#great day for buddie shippers #That's one small step for man one giant leap for mankind #911 abc #buddie #buck is now canonically bi

Barbara’s so afraid of ever being seen or perceived by others as anything but the perfectly put together good christian woman image she presents to the world that the second this counselor even suggests she might be a little shaken by the fire she’s gonna flip out. Barbara Howard I know what you are.

Staff: we got rid of prev tags because it made it confusing for clicking through to people's blogs!

Me: fighting for my goddamn life trying to click on the right spot on mobile to get to someone's blog and all it's doing is reloading the post I'm using to click through

#I'm pretty laizzes faire about most of the changes on this site #i don't think they matter that much and if staff thinks theyre helping things that's fine ill adapt #but the one thing i still think was a mistake was getting rid of the ability to click back to the previous reblog #it still actively makes my experience on here worse because there is no way to see one step back in the reblog chain #scrolling through the notes only works and is feasible on very small posts #and then to have lost that interaction for an easier way to see people's main blog page and it doesn't even really work well?#Rather Irritating #this is my One Moment of Man Shouting At Tumblr Cloud and now I'll go back to chilling

I just have to share this with you: I was playing around with posing scaled models for unspecified reasons and the size difference between Al and Reed is sending me. It never hit me that Al is tiny until now lmao

YES! They are so small and it lowkey bothers them sometimes😂 They try to act cool and nonchalant about it most of the time but then they'll be reminded how small they are, like in an arguement with someone where they have to crane their neck to look up at them.

And don't think they aren't coming up with ways to even that out now...😂They will grab collars and yank you down to their eye level, or knock you down, or just plain go feral and climb you or some furniture so that they can be the one looking down.

#small dog syndrome has this one #*drags out stepping stool for the angry baby*#oc: alberta jefferson #ship: reed/alberta #all that said -someone pointing out their size to jab at them doesnt *really* anger them that much #but thats because they dont care that much about petty insults in general -fight with your fists man
