July 20 - Neil & Buzz landed on the moon to play some chess and have a lollipop

 A few days ago we mentioned that the Apollo 11 had lifted off and was on its way to the moon.  Well, July 20th, 1969 the lunar module landed on the moon and Neil got to utter his famous words.


July 20th is also the 'International Chess Day' - so I wonder if after bopping around on the moon for the day the pair hopped into the module and played a round of chess with Michael Collins, who went all that way but never got to step foot on the moon, as a bit of a consolation prize.


To cap of the momentous day, they probably cheersed each other with a lollipop, as today is also Canada's National Lollipop Day (or as geeks like me would know... Android 5.x).


Even though that isn't in anywhere official that I can find.
