When born on July 20th, it's not really surprising to end up working for NASA during the Apollo Program.  Paul Haney, NASA's first news director died this week of cancer. Known for his "cool and detached voice," as Time Magazine put it, Haney served from Mercury to Apollo and was known as the "voice of Mission Control." 

Neil Armstrong Elementary in San Antonio, TX is celebrating the 40th Anniversary of Apollo with a great exhibit of school built moon projects (don't you just love the Jeep rover?) including a moon walk lab, and one of only 6 moon rock displays available for public use

Pretty cool school if you ask me.
