KSC-04-S-00294 (08/06/2004) ---
On July 20, 1969, the world watched in awe as humans made history on the Moon. Thirty-five years ago, Apollo 11 proved to the world that humankind could break the bonds of gravity and make it to another heavenly body. The landing was a nail-biting experience for Commander Neil Armstrong, Lunar Module Pilot Buzz Aldrin, and flight controllers on the ground. Alarms blared inside the Lunar Module, signaling that the computer was overtaxed. But Armstrong expertly guided the spacecraft over a field of boulders to a safe landing in the Sea of Tranquility -- with only 30 seconds of fuel remaining. Read more...

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- Launch Umbilical Tower No. 1 (LUT-1) stored in the Industrial Area of KSC is being demolished with the Caterpillar excavator and 48-inch shear attachment. Seen is the base of tower; the upright tower extended more than 398 feet above the launch pad. The LUT-1 was part of the launch system used for Apollo-Saturn V, launching Apollo 8, Apollo 11, Skylab manned missions and the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project. The shear is one used in the deconstruction of the Twin Towers in New York City after 9/11.

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. - In the Orbiter Processing Facility, Danny Wyatt, NASA Quality Assurance specialist, and John Legere (right), NASA Quality Assurance specialist, examine the first Reinforced Carbon-Carbon panel to be installed on the left wing leading edge on Discovery. The RCC panels are mechanically attached to the wing with spars, a series of floating joints to reduce loading on the panels caused by wing deflections. Discovery has been named as the orbiter to fly on the first Return to Flight mission, STS-114.

KSC-03-S-00009 (09/29/2003) ---
The 1970’s began an era of international cooperation for NASA. On July 15th, 1975 the Apollo-Soyuz test program became a reality. For the first time in history two spacecraft from separate nations would dock in space. The mission started with a Soyuz launch from the Soviet Union on July 15, 1975, followed by an Apollo launch just hours later from the Kennedy Space Center.
The two crafts docked 2 days later on July 17th. The three man Apollo crew and 2 man Soyuz crew opened each of their hatches and began two days of joint operations. This mission was considered a great success towards building trust and confidence between the U.S. and Russia during the Cold War—and set the stage for today’s International Space Station.
