It's the perfect day for #MoonCrushMonday. This photo was taken by the Apollo 11 crew on their way home, 50 years ago today.

We're saddened by the passing of Chris Kraft, our first flight director. He was a space legend who created the concept of Mission Control during the early human spaceflight program and made it an integral part of the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo missions. He was 95.
