FRI@GMT WRUW? ---Remembering "Magnificent desolation."

Apollo 11 launched from Cape Kennedy on July 16, 1969, 09:32 am EDT; Nearing the Moon, the descent engine continued to provide braking thrust until about 102 hours, 45 minutes into the mission. Partially piloted manually by Armstrong, the Eagle landed in the Sea of Tranquility in Site 2 at 0 degrees, 41 minutes, 15 seconds north latitude and 23 degrees, 26 minutes east longitude. At about 109 hours, 42 minutes after launch, Armstrong stepped onto the moon, with "…one small step for man…" About 20 minutes later, Aldrin followed him. [wearing his Omega Speedmaster! --Neil's remained "on-duty" in the LEM].
I am fortunate with this 'older cousin,' 1058 movements earlier than Neil's 105.012-65 with JB Champion Mesh Bracelet. I honor the Apollo 11 Crew's anniversary with a glorious Romeo Y Julieta, Habano. Colonel 58

I don't want to get technical, but according to chemistry alcohol IS a solution!
