... and, for the record, the movie "Space Cowboys" was a movie and never actually happened. The character William "Hawk" Hawkins didn't exist - he never really made it to the moon

"24" 50 years already! I remember it like it was yesterday. (i was born on 7/20.) The 1296 moon landing interrupted my 8th birthday party! How dare they!

Say what?!?!?
You mean that they landed on the moon, but didn't go outside? That would be a big NO!
Of course, I'm not an official judge on this contest (even if I suggested the question
) - just commenting on the second half of your answer....

For a bonus of absolutely nothing (since I know that you are all looking this up on Google anyway and probably not old enough to remember it when it happened - if you were even born yet), how many total missions were there to the moon? How many of the astronauts could you name without having to use Google?
On a side note - several years ago, I was on one of my cross-coastal gigs. A co-worker had a very unique last name - Roosa. She was flabbergasted that anyone actually recognized her last name as one of the Apollo astronauts to travel to the moon - Stu Roosa, the Command Module pilot for Apollo 14. She was the granddaughter - didn't have much interaction with him since he died from cancer in 1994.

Prove it! bahaha!
I don't really disbelieve we went to the moon, but I got caught up in the conspiracy back in the day.
I will say though, when making the graphic for this contest, I had to search for pictures, and all I could do is ask myself all over again was "Where are the shadows? Why are there some shadows and not other shadows?"
You know what they say. "A picture is worth a thousand words."

Okie Dokie - so this should be worth about 6,000 words! Normally I would shrink this too fit the website, but bigger is better!
They missed pointing out one of the blurry blobs/dots in the Apollo 11 pic. I fixed it!

Even if you weren't born yet, you need to watch the documentary coverage of this monumental event in human history. This was one of the great "First"s - and it happened in many of our lifetimes...
I told my daughter what today was and she says "It's only been 50 years?!" I was 4 when it happened. Knowing I was alive when this major "first" happened makes me feel really old. I don't know why, but it does. Kind of like how I perceive people (as old) who were alive when color TV was first introduced. (And after searching that, I see it was around my birth year here in the USA. I'm old. lol)
Did you see the movie 'First Man' with Gosling?

No. I'm not sure that I will approve of their rendition. For now, I am sticking with the real deal...
Here's "... to the moon Alice... 24? Do the chimps count?

My dad woke me up to watch them land on the moon! Just he and I, I was 8. Nice memory!

Sure! Count all of the chimps who went to the moon! (That number would be exactly ZERO, but don't let me influence your guess!
)

I guess I meant that 12 walked on the moon while 12 others flew there in the mission but didn't actually walk on it.Say what?!?!?

Of course, I'm not an official judge on this contest (even if I suggested the question
That is a total of 24 but that is also the breakdown of it.
Just wanted to be as clear as possible on my answer I guess. I overthink EVERYTHING you know?! LOL
Our 'Free to Enter' Moon Landing contest closes tomorrow at 12:30 PM EDT tomorrow.
