This cache has been placed to mark the 50th anniversary of the first Moon landing on July 20th, 1969. The Apollo 11 crew, Neil A. Armstrong, Michael Collins and Edwin E. Aldrin Jr., lifted off from Kennedy Space Center aboard a Saturn V rocket. The mission was fraught with danger, not least the descent onto the lunar surface. After several Moon orbits, Armstrong and Aldrin separated the lunar module 'Eagle' from the orbiter 'Columbia' (piloted by Collins), and made their descent. Numerous alarms were triggered, and a bolder-strewn surface forced Armstrong to make a semi-automatic landing with minimal fuel remaining; announcing on touchdown that "Houston, Tranquillity Base here. The Eagle has landed."
To find the cache, you need to safely land your lunar module on the Moon! Click HERE to begin your descent... press any key (or touch the screen) to fire the retro-thrusters to slow down... too often and you'll run out of fuel... too late... well, you'll form a new crater! You need to touchdown at or below 4m/s and mobile or tablet pilots should flick to landscape mode after landing. Thanks to 'Dan-Q' for making the original code open source so it could be modified here.
Waypoint averaging has been used to set the co-ordinates, but tree cover could be problematic, especially at certain times of the year.
