1. The flight of Apollo 11, the first Lunar landing mission. The Apollo 11 Saturn V space vehicle, or rocket, lifted off with astronauts Neil A. Armstrong, Michael Collins and Edwin E. Aldrin, Jr., at 9:32 a.m. EDT July 16, 1969, from Kennedy Space Center's Launch Complex 39A. Flying at transonic speeds -- speeds varying near and at the speed of sound (supersonic) -- can generate impressive condensation clouds caused by the Prandtl-Glauert Singularity.
