A body of water is visible in the background.

Apollo 11 launched #OTD in 1969, carrying Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins, and Buzz Aldrin to the Moon.
It was one of the most remarkable scientific collaborations in history, taking humans from Earth to the surface of another world, then returning them safely home.
