45th Anniversary of Lunar Dwelling

This is the 45th Anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing: July 20, 1969. Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong landed their moon module on the Sea of Tranquility. Since it is our first Lunar Residence I wanted to share this architectural anniversary with our readers. It had a lot of visual ‘Bling’ on the exterior with the gold foil, and was rather heavy on the high tech look inside, but the guests were more interested in the location, than style or comfort. I can’t wait till the rest of us get to vacation there!

Here is a link to the complete article with more photos and videos, covering the anniversary on Earth Sky News:
