one of deze days, alice ... to da moon
American Minute with Bill Federer July 20th
"One small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind," were the words uttered this day, July 20, 1969, by Neil Armstrong, as he became the first man to walk on the moon. He, along with Colonel Aldrin, had landed their lunar module, the "Eagle," and spent a total of 21 hours and 37 minutes on the moon's surface, before redocking with the command ship "Columbia." Before a joint session of Congress Commander Neil Armstrong stated: "To those of you who have advocated looking high we owe our sincere gratitude, for you have granted us the opportunity to see some of the grandest views of the Creator."
here's another cool link that google put on their main site:

its neat how the detail increases gradually as you zoom in, and the final 'step' is really detailed!
