Does this date ring a bell? Today marks the 49th anniversary of the `Eagle has landed`. It was on this date, July 20th, 1969 that man first stepped onto the surface of alien world, our moon. But as Canadians, we can also celebrate this milestone, because some of the aerospace engineers involved were CANADIANS who were laid off from the Avro Arrow program, but got hired on by NASA to help with the Apollo program. So, take a bow Canada! Still, if it weren't for Neil`s Air Force flying expertise, the whole mission could have ended in total disaster. Still an amazing achievement 49 years later.
