Austin Anthony/[email protected] The Apollo Lunar Module Eagle landed on the moon at 20:17 Coordinated Universal Time on July 20, 1969. At that exact time 50 years later – 3:17 p.m. CDT – a Moon Landing Celebration at Western Kentucky University’s Hardin Planetarium honored the moment when Neil Armstrong said, “Houston, Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed.” This year marks the 50th anniversary of the frst moon landing, and Hardin Planetarium – 1501 State St. – hosted a full day of activities Saturday to honor the historic event, including a Bruster’s Real Ice Cream truck, games, challenges, movie screenings, live theater and more from 1 to 10 p.m. Richard Gelderman, director of Hardin Planetarium, said he “really wanted” the event to be outside even though it was 93 degrees Fahrenheit and there was an excessive heat warning. Gelderman said his “clearest memory” as a child is linked to the Apollo 11 mission, and he wanted to inspire that same curiosity. “The very frst people who came in all came in – as hot as it is – with smiles on their faces and expectant looks and they’re all curious and thoughtful,” Gelderman said.

There’s a great deal of contrast in it, and currently it’s upside-down on our monitor, but we can make out a fair amount of detail. Okay. Neil, we can see you coming down the ladder now. Narrator: Sunday, July 20, 1969. Around the world, nearly a billion people watched this moment on television as the first man from Earth prepared to set foot upon the Moon. Neil Armstrong: I’m at the foot of ladder. The LM footpads are only depressed in the surface about 1 or 2 inches, although the surface appears to be very, very fine grained as you get close to it. It’s almost like a powder. Down there, it’s very fine. I’m going to step off the LM now. That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind. John F. Kennedy: I believe that this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to the Earth.

  • The Eagle Has Landed: a Preservation Ethic for Off-Planet Cultural Resources
    THE EAGLE HAS LANDED: A PRESERVATION ETHIC FOR OFF-PLANET CULTURAL RESOURCES by THOMAS COOPER JONES, JR. (Under the Direction of WAYDE BROWN) ABSTRACT The cultural landscape of humanity extends beyond Earth. We have permanent robotic equipment on the Moon and Mars, and we have sent Voyager 1 and 2 on a now over 35-year-long journey towards the edges of our solar system and beyond. In 1961, Yuri Gagarin became the first human in space, and on July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong became the first human to set foot on another celestial body. Humanity has maintained a presence off-planet for over fifty years. This thesis focuses on the cultural heritage of the exploration of space. An analysis of international treaties that govern the use of space and other areas of the international commons is presented, and a three part ethic for the preservation of this heritage is proposed that includes a legal path, a cultural impetus that encourages preservation, and the cultural landscape model as a method for the evaluation of these cultural resources.
