The adventure of reaching the Moon, landing on it, and walking on its surface was a technological and scientific achievement that must be properly valued in the context of its time... and even in the present day.
Over half a century ago, on July 20th, 1969, man first walked on the Moon. This represents An event that marked an entire era. In the distance by which time is marked, it may be that many people are currently unable to appreciate the merit that adventure had, but it was one of the riskiest and most uncertain expeditions in human history.

The processing power of the computers aboard the Apollo spacecraft has often been compared to that of an old mobile phone, the kind nobody carries anymore. And, indeed, that was the case.
In this infographics We have compiled some data which, in our opinion, can be considered key in the development of the Apollo XI mission, as well as a good number of curiosities which are sure to capture your attention.
The new crewed missions to the Moon are already underway. Today almost everything is different: the incorporation of private initiative, better technology, greater computer capacity, new materials… but what hasn't changed is the uncertainty of a grand adventure.
