40 years ago today the men of Apollo 11 landed on the moon.

My father-in-law was on the navy ship that picked up the crew after splash down. He has some great pictures.

The bottome line, why don’t we have ambition to do great things like this any more? It’s kind of sad.

Here’s a great post discussing Apollo 11 and our lack of modern ambition at The Art of Manliness.
