It was fifty-three years and two days ago, July 20 1969 in which Apollo 11 reached the Moon. The lander "Eagle" would land at 8:17 PM Greenwich time (1:17 PM SL time). It was a triumph of American space exploration, and a high point in human history.
One can see the kind of rocket used in the Lunar missions, a Saturn V rocket, at Spaceport Bravo in the International Space Museum in Second Life. In 2009, someone made a working Saturn V that went into space.
