MAN’S GRASP
By depicting the hands of an astronaut clutching the moon, Herblock shared in the celebration and wonderment at the achievement of the Apollo 11 mission in July 1969. Launched on July 16, 1969, Neil Armstrong, Edwin E. “Buzz” Aldrin Jr., and Michael Collins successfully returned to Earth on July 24, 1969. During his moon walk, Neil Armstrong uttered his famous words, “That’s one small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind.”
