🚀 From Québec to the Moon 🇨🇦🌕 In 1969, when Apollo 11 touched down on the lunar surface, the world watched in awe. What few people knew is that a crucial part of that landing was engineered in Québec. A company based in Longueuil, Héroux Machine Parts (now Héroux-Devtek), manufactured key components of the lunar module’s landing gear — the legs that absorbed the impact and kept Eagle standing on the Moon. These parts had to perform flawlessly in extreme conditions, with no margin for error.

56K views · 1.5K reactions | Real Apollo 11 footage—Eagle lands on the Moon… and later lifts off from the lunar surface to rendezvous in orbit. ​ No CGI, no second takes: just a lunar module window view, 16mm onboard film, and the most high‑stakes “go” decision ever made. Watch it twice—first for the history, then for the silence. #Apollo11 #MoonLanding #SpaceHistory #SpaceReels | Physics & Astronomy | Facebook
