The Next Stop
This is for the Vocal "Sky's the Limit" Challenge that you can read about below. Original image By NASA The Apollo 11 mission emblem was designed by Collins, who wanted a symbol for "peaceful lunar landing by the United States". At Lovell's suggestion, he chose the bald eagle, the national bird of the United States, as the symbol. Tom Wilson, a simulator instructor, suggested an olive branch in its beak to represent their peaceful mission. Collins added a lunar background with the Earth in the distance. The sunlight in the image was coming from the wrong direction; the shadow should have been in the lower part of the Earth instead of the left. Aldrin, Armstrong and Collins decided the Eagle and the Moon would be in their natural colors, and decided on a blue and gold border. Armstrong was concerned that "eleven" would not be understood by non-English speakers, so they went with "Apollo 11",and they decided not to put their names on the patch, so it would "be representative of everyone who had worked toward a lunar landing".

Why didn't the world end in 2012?
The year 2012 saw widespread rumors and speculations that the world was going to end. The theories stemmed from a misinterpretation of the ancient Mayan calendar, which predicted the end of the current cycle in 2012. The doomsday predictions ranged from catastrophic events, such as asteroid impact, massive earthquakes, and tsunamis to supernatural events, such as the arrival of extraterrestrial beings or the emergence of a new age of enlightenment. Despite the widespread panic, however, the world did not end in 2012, and life continued as usual.
