Today, we celebrate the 49th anniversary of one of humanity’s greatest achievements: the Apollo 11 moon landing. On July 20, 1969, the first human walked on the moon. IBM is proud to have worked on all the Apollo lunar missions. Thousands of IBM administrators, engineers and technicians contributed both software, hardware and expertise to help ensure each mission’s success. And IBM is always looking forward, working to develop technologies to help prepare humanity for the next frontier.
Artemis: Do you ever feel guilty about anything you do?
Apollo: Guilt is like a stomachache from overeating. You make all sorts of promises while you’re feeling it, but once it passes you just get hungry again.
Artemis: Most people are not like you.
Apollo: Everybody’s like me. I’m just not in denial.

“On November 9, 1967, the uncrewed Apollo 4 test flight made a great ellipse around Earth as a test of the translunar motors and of the high speed entry required of a crewed flight returning from the Moon. A 70mm camera was programmed to look out a window toward Earth, and take a series of photographs from “high apogee.” Seen looking west are coastal Brazil, the Atlantic Ocean, West Africa and Antarctica. This photograph was made as the Apollo 4 spacecraft, still attached to the S-IVB (third) stage, orbited Earth at an altitude of 9,544 miles.” (Image credit: NASA)
Hyacinth or Hyacinthus is a divine hero and a lover of Apollo from Greek mythology. His cult at Amyclae southwest of Sparta dates from the Mycenaean era (c. 1600–1450 BC).
O Hyacinthus!” Moaned Apollo. “I can see in your sad wound my own guilt, and you are my cause of grief and self-reproach. My own hand gave you death unmerited—I only can be charged with your destruction.—What have I done wrong? Can it be called a fault to play with you? Should loving you be called a fault? And oh, that I might now give up my life for you! Or die with you! But since our destinies prevent us you shall always be with me, and you shall dwell upon my care-filled lips. The lyre struck by my hand, and my true songs will always celebrate you. A new flower you shall arise, with markings on your petals, close imitation of my constant moans: and there shall come another to be linked with this new flower, a valiant hero shall be known by the same marks upon its petals.”
