Missed Moon Shot 1965

We'll be celebrating the 40th anniversary of the Apollo 11 Moon Landing next month, but we need to remember the feat was no easy task. On this day, June 11th in 1965 the Luna 6 passed the moon after a failed course correction on the 9th of June. Four years later, humans walked on the moon.

Here's a picture of Luna 6.

Here's the Wikipedia link:

I can't wait for the fake moon landing posts to start popping up. Check them out on YouTube.
