...Monday, after another 4-hr. sleep period sandwiched between two meals, Armstrong and Aldrin will fire the LM's ascent engine, using the four-legged descent stage as a launch pad. If all goes well, they will rendezvous with Collins and transfer to the command module, taking their precious rocks with them in sealed boxes and leaving the LM in orbit around the moon. From that point on, they will again follow the path of Apollo 10. After firing themselves into an earth-bound trajectory, they will splash down in the Pacific Ocean some 1,160 miles southwest of Hawaii...
...members of Apollo 11's crew are seasoned, imperturbable astronauts. Armstrong, known as an inscrutable loner, flew Gemini 8 to the first successful space docking. Aldrin, a hard-driving perfectionist, set the record for space walking (5 hr., 30 min.) during the four-day flight of Gemini 12 in 1966.

There just isn't any reason why things are the way they are. Of course when...
...Egyptian MIG-21 over the Sinai, artillery opened up along the 60-mile canal front. For the second time since the Six-Day war, Israeli guns set fire to Egypt's main oil refineries at Suez. The Israelis lost one soldier killed and six wounded during a 5-hr. 10-min. shelling duel, which each side accused the other of starting...
