Google Doodle narrated by astronaut Michael Collins celebrates Apollo50th anniversary
anniversary of Apollo 11's moon landing, Google is honoring the historic event with a video Doodle that gave users the chance to experience the journey.
Along with a series of animations dedicated to taking users on a journey from liftoff, to the moon and back to Earth, Collins explained what it was like aboard the rocket. Collins noted that at the time, the astronauts thought their computer on the aircraft was sophisticated, but in actuality, it was less sophisticated than people's phones today. When they reached the moon for the first time, Collins called it a"magnificent spectacle" and said the sun was coming up around the moon, making a golden halo.
"Fifty years ago, NASA's Apollo 11 mission changed our world and ideas of what is possible by successfully landing humans on the surface of the moon—and bringing them home safely—for the first time in history," Google wrote in the blog.
