Has anyone noticed Google's logo to commemorate the Apollo 11 anniversary?

I guess it's time for my yearly July 20th ritual of watching the Apollo 11 landing on DVD. :)

I just realized there are two other space related anniversaries today.  On this date (July 20th) in 1976 Viking 1 made a successful first-ever landing on Mars.  Also on this date in 1999, Gus Grissom's Liberty Bell 7 capsule was raised to the surface after 38 years on the Atlantic Ocean floor.

And future Apollo 11 CMP made a spacewalk on this day in 1966 to retrieve a micrometeorite package fom the side of their Agena rocket during the Gemini 10 mission.

A busy day in space history indeed :D
