I don’t remember seeing one before where none of the regular cast is featured, here Skeezix and Nina’s neighbors the Fracases are in the spotlight.

Fifty one years ago today, astronaut Michael Collins orbited the moon in the command and service module as his crew members Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin stepped onto the moon, cementing an incredible first for human history.
Lunar landing operations for the Apollo 11 crew officially began around 9:27 a.m. July 20, when lunar module pilot Buzz Aldrin crawled through a tunnel separating the command module Columbia from the lunar module, Eagle, to power on the lander.
Four hours later, Aldrin and Armstrong, stood in the Eagle while it separated from Columbia. At the controls of Columbia, command module pilot Michael Collins turned on the ship’s engines and moved it away. Collins, alone aboard Columbia, inspected Eagle as it pirouetted before him to ensure the craft was not damaged, and that the landing gear was correctly deployed. Armstrong exclaimed: “The Eagle has wings!” Collins watched as the Eagle’s engines fired for the lunar descent. “Everything’s going just swimmingly. Beautiful!” Collins said over radio to Mission Control.
But not everything went to plan after that. Eagle’s computer experienced several task overloads that tripped program alarms in the spacecraft. Just after 4 p.m., Armstrong looked outside the window and saw the automatic landing system was taking Eagle to a rocky field. He took control of the spacecraft, steering it down to the surface with just seconds of fuel to spare. Apollo 11 was on the moon.
“Houston, Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed,” he radioed Mission Control at 4:18 p.m.
