11 Days to Apollo 11
On 20 July 1969, "men from the Planet Earth first set foot on the Moon." The fortieth anniversary of Apollo 11 is going to be a very big deal here at The Secret Base, and I invite each of you reading this to give your utmost to raise awareness of this anniversary among your kith and kin. Project Apollo, in addition to its phenomenal technological achievements, promoted the purposeful harnessing of our finest virtues: courage, resilience, resourcefulness, cooperation and coordination, and self-sacrifice. And these virtues found their finest avatar in the first man to set foot on the Moon, Neil Armstrong. Armstronglink.

It was our proudest hour, and reminds us still of what we can accomplish if we have but the intrepidity to pursue our aspirations. "We came in peace for all Mankind."
