🚀 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.

Real Apollo 11 footage: the Lunar Module Eagle lifts off from the Moon and climbs to dock with the Command Module Columbia—the most underrated “escape” in space history. 🧑‍🚀 The descent stage stays behind, and the ascent stage carries Armstrong and Aldrin back to Michael Collins in lunar orbit—because getting off the Moon was just as risky as landing. 🌕 Watch closely: a tiny blinking craft, a black sky, and one docking that decided whether Apollo 11 was a triumph… or a tragedy. 🚀 #Apollo11 #
