The Eagle Had Landed

Well, it's been 40 years - since man first landed on the moon!!

It was on 16th July 1969 that the Apollo 11 mission took off for the moon.

After 4 days, on 20th July 1969 - Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin - landed on the moon's surface - fulfilling JFK's dream of having a man on the moon before 1970.

When the lunar module - Eagle - landed on the moon, Armstrong said those famous words - "Houston, Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed.". These words - since then - have gone on to reflect success of various missions!!

As Armstrong descended on the moon's surface - to become the first human on the moon - he said - and this has been widely quoted and recollected - "One small step for Man, One giant leap for Mankind."

My Companions

Companion - a person to accompany, assist, or live with another in the capacity of a helpful friend!!!

Well, these are my current companions ...

a) My Cell phone!!!

b) My pocket!!!

This line summarizes it all - My companion and I were alone with the stars: the misty river of the Milky Way flowing across the sky, the patterns of the constellations standing out bright and clear, a blazing planet low on the horizon. ( Courtesy - Rachel Carson )
