Fifty years ago on the morning of July 16th, Apollo 11 was launched from Cape Canaveral, Florida beginning its 8-day mission to the moon and back, fulfilling the goal President Kennedy proposed in 1961. While I do not remember this particular mission, I do have very clear recollections of subsequent ones, particularly Apollo 15 in 1971, which was the first of the so-called “J Missions” which remained on the moon for three days and featured the “Moon Buggy”, or Lunar Roving Vehicle.
