What was happening 50 years ago...

 Charley Brown and Snoopy.
50 Years ago this week, Apollo 10 was traveling to the Moon to do a last test of all systems before the Moon Landing. The Command Module named Charley Brown the the lander named Snoopy, went through a full landing test. Once the lander separated, they flew around and checked the space craft out and took it done towards the surface. At the end, they jettisoned the landing engine and legs and flew the assent module back up and docked to the Command Module. Amazing what they did and with computers with less power than the computer in your TV...
