July 20th, 1969 is a date that stands high in my life – it was the day that we, together as one people, achieved the greatest scientific and technological feat in human history. The specific role that Neil, Mike and I performed in the event was but one part of an immeasurably larger effort – not just for our nation, but for all mankind. As I look back on what we accomplished 55 years ago, I am still inspired by what we all saw and did – the best of America and the best of humanity. Thank you for the privilege and the honor of serving you, and for being part of this exciting and wonderous journey with me.

the "Attach Orbiter Here / Note: Black Side Down" sign on the Shuttle Carrier Aircraft (SCA) was indeed real. The SCA was a modified Boeing 747 that NASA used to transport Space Shuttle orbiters between landing sites, maintenance facilities, and launch sites.

The sign you're referring to was a practical reminder for ground crews and pilots on how to properly position and secure the Space Shuttle orbiter on the back of the SCA. The "black side down" instruction was crucial because the thermal protection tiles on the underside of the orbiter were black in color and needed to face downward during transport.

This sign ensured that the orbiter was correctly oriented and secured for safe and efficient transport. It's a testament to the precision and care required in handling such complex and valuable aerospace equipment during the Space Shuttle program era.
