At about 4 am for the American Astronauts on the 16th of July 1969 they were awoken to a day that would take them from the surface of our world and up into the unknown of space. Though not the first people in space or even the first Americans they were destined to step onto another world – a world they were not sure was survivable.
This epic adventure had had more than a rocky start and would have many a hiccup to come.
They sat down to steak and eggs.
