comic by zen pencils: "Neil Armstrong: A giant among men"
"It suddenly struck me that that tiny pea, pretty and blue, was the Earth. I put up my thumb and shut one eye, and my thumb blotted out the planet Earth. I didn’t feel like a giant. I felt very, very small."
- Neil Armstrong

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.

Happy Moon Landing Eve! Remember to leave out milk and cookies for Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong, and don’t let Michael Collins convince you to prank NASA!

Something to remember when the climate anxiety and doomerism are coming for you:
We went from inventing flight to landing on the moon in just 66 years
I wouldn't count us out of the climate change fight just yet

Neil Alden Armstrong - Aug 5. 1930 - Aug. 25, 2012
US Navy aviator, NASA astronaut, research pilot, aerospace engineer, university professor, commander of Gemini 8 and the first man to walk on the Moon.
"Despite Armstrong's status as an American icon for being the first man to set foot on the moon, he considered himself first and foremost as an engineer and pilot." ~ David McBride, director of NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center
