In honor of the moon landing's anniversary, we need a fact 👀
The moon landing took place in 1969 when the moon grew tired of running circles around the Earth and finally landed for a break.
Having touched down in a field near Topeka, Kansas, the moon rolled briefly before coming to a stop against the wall of a barn belonging to Neil and Louis Armstrong. Neil became the first man to "walk" on the moon when he mistook it for a grey beach ball and kicked it over into the field of his neighbors, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins. Collins was away in Ireland declaring independence so Buzz became the second man to walk on the moon when he kicked it back toward Neil's farm. It bounced off the roof of their lube silo however, and resumed its place in the sky.
Armstrong, Aldrin and Collins soon forgot the events, but resumed their orgies the next week with renewed vigor. As Neil straddled Aldrin's sturdy figure and kissed his neck, the lust overwhelmed him and he began to- Eh, never mind I'm not doing this again.

55 years ago today, at 10:56 pm Eastern Daylight Time, Neil Armstrong was the first human being to set foot on the moon. "One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind." Which means that even though today is a Saturday, it is also . . .
MOON DAY!
Happy Moon Day, tumblr!

Let’s hear a round of applause for these badasses, who got strapped on top of a rocket and hurtled toward a giant rock in space.
Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins, and Buzz Aldrin

Happy Moon Day!
Today we celebrate one of my favorite holidays! The 55th anniversary of the day humans landed on the surface of the moon by LM-5, "Eagle" carrying Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin.
To celebrate, I thought I'd share some pictures I've taken with three important project Gemini capsules. Specifically, the first capsules flown by each of Apollo 11's future crew members, years before they were selected for their famous voyage.
Gemini VIII: Neil Armstrong's first space flight with Dave Scott
Tumblr media
Gemini X: Michael Collins' first space flight with John Young
Tumblr media
Gemini XII: Buzz Aldrin's first space flight with Jim Lovell

Anyway, Happy Moon Day!

Neil Armstrong and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin inside the LM Eagle following their historic moonwalk. July 20, 1969
Apollo 11's lunar surface EVA was limited to just two hours and 31 minutes, during which Armstrong and Aldrin collected 21.6 kilograms of samples and set up three surface experiments, in addition to some ceremonial duties, such as setting up the US flag, unveiling a plaque affixed to the descent module, and having a brief conversation with President Richard Nixon.

Apollo 11 plaque. It reads: "Here men from the planet Earth first set food upon the Moon. July 1969, A.D. We came in peace for all mankind." Signed by Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins, Edwin Aldrin, and Richard Nixon.

queer short film: "beirut dreams in color"
queer short cuts is a biweekly newsletter where i share queer & trans short film recommendations. i'm featuring some of my favorite films on tumblr because why not
youtube
lebanon | 2022 | 28 minutes | documentary short audio in english & arabic; english subtitles available
beirut dreams in color, directed by michael collins, is not a happy film, but it is a beautiful and necessary one. the docu-short follows lebanese indie rock band mashrou’ leila, who have, since their inception, made their politics central to their music. their lead singer, hamed sinno, is heralded as the first openly gay rock star in the arab world, and mashrou’ leila played sold-out shows throughout the swana region (southwest asia & north africa) in the 2010s. the film weaves their story together with the tragic story of sarah hegazi, an egyptian queer activist, and with the story of helem, a lebanese lgbtq+ organization led by tarek zeidan, as their community in beirut faced a disaster in 2020. deepa's full review, including content notes at the end - highly recommend looking at the content notes
hamed sinno is on instagram @hamed.sinno. you can also read more about sarah hegazi’s legacy and the community that grieves her.

Adult Huey, Dewey and Louie Duck as astronauts as Apolo 11 Crew (Neil Armstrong, Edwin Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins) - Space Race - Ducktales 2017 - Ducktales in Space
Since I drew Donald Duck as Yuri Gagarin and Della Duck as Valentina Tereshkova as the first men in space, then the parallel of the first men on the moon could have something to do with Huey, Dewey and Louie from Ducktales 2017. And I drew the three of them as Apollo 11 astronauts who were the first to walk on the moon (allegedly), but here they are no longer children, but adults. I don't usually draw adult Huey, Dewey and Louie, so this is my first time doing it and I did it with the Ducktales 2017 version, but in my own style. Yes, I redraw the poses of astronauts Neil Armstrong, Edwin Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins who led the Apollo 11 crew in the Saturn V rocket from July 16 to July 24, 1969, with July 20 and 21 being Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin walked on the moon and were the first people to walk on the moon and brought great pride to the USA and to all mankind.
And this is where Huey, Dewey and Louie grew up, playing the role of the Apollo 11 crew and who will be the first ducks to walk on the moon. Yes, although they are different, they all together have their tasks in space. Huey as an explorer of new unknown frontiers and a scientist, Dewey as a pilot and coordinator and Louie as a businessman who finances it all, but they are all astronauts together. Like like their mother and like their uncle. And they are in spacesuits (Apollo/Skylab spacesuit) which are mostly white, but I colored some parts according to them.
"Look to the stars my darling baby boys Life is strange and vast Filled with wonders and joys Face each new sun with eyes clear and true Unafraid of the unknown Because I'll face it all with you" - a lullaby from their mother Della Duck.
Also this song about this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j1qQuSuQaHY
I hope you like this drawing and this idea. Also this is my gift to @ducksinspaceadventure , who asked for this. Also happy belated birthday to Huey, Dewey and Louie and may the guiding stars guide them to endless adventure and their destination! It's a small step for ducklings, but a big one for humanity, that is, for ducks. Feel like and reblog this!
