It's a slow night at The Nut House, so we're all out back checking out the Blue Moon.
35 years and 11 days ago Apollo 11 landed the 1st man on the moon. It's been nearly 32 years since the last human landed, and then left the moon on Apollo 17. Here are a few of his words.
"I took one last unfiltered look at the Earth and was enveloped by a sense of selfishness, for I was unable to adequately share what I felt. I wanted everyone on my home planet to experience this magnificent feeling of actually being on the moon. That was not technologically possible, and I knew it, but there was a bit of guilt at being the Chosen One. I put a foot on the pad and grabbed the ladder. I knew that I had changed in the past three days, and that I no longer belonged solely to the Earth. Forever more, I would belong to the universe."
