The Wausau Daily Herald today continues its countdown to Monday’s 40th anniversary of man’s first landing on the moon. Each day, the newspaper will feature a look at the events leading up to that historic moment, culminating with a special report in Monday’s edition. Wednesday, July 16, 1969: At 8:32 a.m. CST, Apollo 11 Mission Commander Neil Armstrong, Command Module Pilot Michael Collins and Lunar Module Pilot Edwin Eugene “Buzz” Aldrin Jr. lifted off from Kennedy Space Center. Their destination was the moon. Their goals were not only to be the first to set foot on its surface and to collect soil and rock samples for scientific research, but to lift Americans’ spirits amid the turmoil of the Vietnam War, civil rights battles and a tense race for global supremacy against the USSR.
