Maybe because this is Canada- is no one here is celebrating this monumental achievement? You guys do realize Canada did play a role right? The Apollo flight surgeon was Canadian Dr. Bill Carpentier.
I'm sure there are many many more examples but certainly Canada has been partnering with NASA on many projects, possibly most notably the Canadarm for the shuttle and many Canadian astronauts through the years. https://globalnews.ca/video/5503540/how-canadians-made-significant-contributions-to-apollo-11
Thinking back on the technology used back then and small time frame for them to accomplish their goal, the lunar landing was a true engineering marvel. I have been watching all the specials in recent weeks leading up to this day and I must say it is a day that I will cherish forever. Super proud to be an American and thankful for the help Canada provided. :encouragement:
