Bill R.: Our first date. We were watching "A", but I had stars in my eyes! Corny, I know.

Google's zoomable Moon-explorer. Cory Doctorow:

Google Moon is Google's commemorative site for the anniversary of the first manned Moon landing -- an interactive, zoomable map of the moon's surface with waypoints set for the six Apollo landing sites. Nice Easter-egg if you zoom all the way, too.

Bill R.: On our first date, Laura and I watched the first man land on the moon. As I recall it was near midnight EST, siting in my parents living room near Cleveland Ohio. It's now 36 years later and we're married with two wonderful girls. Happy Anniversary Laura!

QTVR of moon landing with archival sound. Xeni Jardin:

Today is the anniversary of the first human footsteps on the moon. While they were there, Apollo astronauts took panoramic photos with Hasselblad cameras. Hans Nyberg has stitched them together into 360-degree QTVR panoramas, along with sound files from that mission. Link (Thanks, Kevin Marks)

Oh, and don't forget. If you have a Moon Day party tonight (with Tang, Moon Pies, and telescopes), share your snapshots here!
