Wikipedia: The patch of Apollo 11 was designed by Collins, who wanted a symbol for "peaceful lunar landing by the United States." He chose an eagle as the symbol, put an olive branch in its beak, and drew a moon background with the earth in the distance. NASA officials said the talons of the eagle looked too "warlike" and after some discussion, the olive branch was moved to the claws.

When they were getting ready to fire up the lunar module and leave the moon, there was an electrical malfunction, and a fuse had blown. Not having a spare anything on the craft meant that Neil Armstrong had to improvise. He used the metal lid of a pen that he had with him and jammed it in the hole, making the circuit and allowing them to leave the surface. That's some good fortune and thinking right there...

You would have to be an inbred moron to really believe that the Apollo moonlanding was a fake, or a socially conservative Republican, same difference.

From orbit: It should be obvious, but it’s still amazing to see how much better it is to work in orbit than in training.
