editorial article in today's paper, mentioned we're coming up on the 40th
anniversary of the first Apollo moon landing. *the guy in the article said
he was 39 years old, i was NINE years old. *i remember we all were very
excited. *there was like an Apollo fever back then. *my mother couldn't
afford to buy me plastic scale models but a neighborhood kid had a big 'ol
scale model of the Apollo rocket. *i was envious.
i remember we all were sitting around the tv that night watching the moon
landing. *probably everyone in the united states had to go outside and look
up at the moon and say "there's a guy up there walking around".
b.w.
I consider it to be one of the biggest moments in my life.
When one considers the engineering and training that had to happen to
make the moon shots possible, it was truly amazing.
It also demonstrates what this Country can do....when it wants to.
