July 20, 1969 -- Forty Years Before The Cram Session

July 20 is one of this nation's most historic dates. It was on this date 40 years ago that Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins, and Buzz Aldrin landed on the moon in Apollo 11. The much-scrutinized video footage has become something that is etched in the memories of all of us -- even those of us who weren't alive at the time. I actually wasn't alive at the time, but I've seen the grainy NASA video dozens of times throughout my life. I can't imagine what it must've been like watching someone million of miles away bouncing around on some alien surface planting a U.S. flag, but it had to be strange. Check out the video here for some insight on that historic trip and while you're at it, check out the Starving Students Cram Session.
