The Apollo Missions were a defining moment in space exploration, with NASA's most iconic mission being Apollo 11. The Sea of Tranquility was the site where Neil Armstrong and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin made history by stepping foot on the lunar surface. To better understand the magnitude of this achievement, consider the following height map of the area surrounding the Apollo 11 landing site. This image, created using NASA's 3D visualization tool, provides a detailed view of the terrain at a scale of 30x30 kilometers. By exaggerating the Z axis by a factor of 60, the resulting image offers an enhanced visual representation of the landscape.
