50 years since landing on the moon and a lot of guys were out in force last night around ESD with fireworks and just about every spammable possible. On Discord we listened to the live feed as if it were happening now and when we heard "The Eagle has landed" the fireworks began. Afterwards we spent a lot of time trying to get 20 people to join us for a commemorative starbase fleet defense but eventually we did it and it was nice to play this TFO which I'm told is hardly ever played nowadays.
Some folks thought it would have been great if Cryptic had done something ingame to celebrate this, I'm surprised they didn't, there were all sorts of suggestions from having a moon map to a hologram of the Saturn V which you could transform your ship into, sadly we saw nothing in game, I suppose ancient history is not that important in the 25th century!
Still, we had fun and it was great to remember it again, I was nearly 5 when it happened and still remember it clearly. Here is a screenshot I took.

This would have been awesome. I love those lil toys we get from events and a launchable Saturn V would have been great.
I'm also an avid party horn collector, lol.
