It's Sunday, July 6, 1969, and we have less than two weeks before the launch of Apollo 11, the mission that will attempt to land the first humans on the moon. All three astronauts have been declared fit to fly by a medical examiner, but NASA is taking every precaution to make sure it stays that way. Today is the last day the astronauts will get to spend time with their families until August. They'll be in isolation before and after the mission to the moon.
