The Moon Landing was a massive turning point in humanity's discovery and exploration of our solar system. Our moon orbits the Earth between 252,088 miles and 225,623 miles away. The absolute accuracy required in order to pull of that operation in July of 1969 is astronomical. After achieving such a feat, the space race only increased in complexity and difficulty. As astronomical technology improves, more and more discoveries are made about our solar system and the universe as a whole.
