Moon landing - 40th aniversary. Regardless of what the "we-never-landed-there" idiots say.
Landing: 4:17 PM EDT (20:17:40 UTC. Forty years ago this minute...)
First moonwalk: 10:56 PM EDT.
I was glued to a b&w TV in the middle of the night July 21...(it was night in Poland) and loved every minute of it and every murky picture transmitted from the surface of the Moon. And knowing that the Americans had just kicked the Soviets where it hurts the most felt simply delicious!
As an aside, thanks to the decision made personally by the First Secretary of the Communist Party Władysław Gomułka, Poland was the only Eastern/Soviet Bloc country with the live TV coverage of the event.
