Brainyblonde

The first Apollo landing site (0.67408N,23.47297E), in the southern Sea of Tranquility about 20 km (12 mi) southwest of the crater Sabine D, was selected in part because it had been characterized as relatively flat and smooth by the automated Ranger 8 and Surveyor 5 landers, as well as by Lunar Orbiter mapping spacecraft, and therefore unlikely to present major landing or Extra-vehicular activity (EVA) challenges[citation needed]. Armstrong bestowed the name Tranquillity Base on the landing site immediately after touchdown.[2] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_11 Jul 31 06, 1:21 PM
