I saw Brian Flaherty's post on this today (part of his post is below) and wanted to celebrate this another way. Read below and go to the link. Hopefully, you will find is as inspiring as I did.

In a few days, it will be the 50th anniversary of Neil Armstrong's landing on the moon; and, taking two of the most famous steps in History. We all know the words he spoke out loud. . .But, few know the words he said more quietly, almost to himself. . .
********** VERY IMPORTANT, HOGGERS *************
NASA commissioned Judy Gale Roberts to create an Intarsia picture to commemorate this 50th anniversary event. This will be on display in the museum at the Kennedy Space center. Read on.
Intarsia is a process of taking pieces of wood of different colors and cutting and shaping them in such a way that when put together, it creates a 3D picture. While not a photograph, as that is what this forum is about, when you see this absolute masterpiece, you will feel that is primarily is a photograph. As a professional woodworker, I, too, have created some original intarsia pieces. But the focus is not on me, but on this magnificently talented artist and the work she produced.
Only yesterday a video about this 50th anniversary creation was released for public viewing. A scroll saw friend, Steve Good, was permitted to film the process (and narrate it) and the presentation and the link is below. Oh, one more thing to peak your interest. Some of the wood from which this image was created is "from the moon." ?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
THE EAGLE HAS LANDED
Here is the YouTube link. Let me know what you think. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNmntDmQ4r8&feature=youtu.be

I wonder if the disbelievers will be organizing protests. Maybe they can join the Flat Earth Society for a huge event.

Great time to remember. I wish l would have kept my recording l made of the entire moon landing but l misplaced the reel to reel tape when l got rid of the machine. Had the entire prelanding, moon landing including the moon walk and the blast off from the moon. Total length of tape was close to 4 hours. This would have been nice to have made it to a CD or stored it to a computer and then relistened to it again when the landing happened. But l just cant go back in time and reclaim it. Only God knows where it is and it was not meant for me to keep this recording or God would have let me kept it.

What a great piece of woodwork. Good thing it was not sponsored by NIKE or you would have had to change the flag. Very nice work.
