20 July is the 41st anniversary of Apollo11 landing on the Moon.It was a great moment in American history.It's too bad our governments leaders decided that NASA abandon its mission to explore the unknown in favor of making the Islamic people "feel good about themselves.

Chappaquiddick happened the same night. Ted Kennedy was probably one of the few Americans not glued to a TV set.

Who remembers what they were doing at the time?
In those years I was a member of a private musical and twirling organization for youth, called, The Weldonians. The night before, we had been on an outing, marching in some parade, or performing somewhere with the Show Band unit.
A dozen of us had a sleep-over at one member’s house in Fremont, California, so that we could all be together to watch the TV reports and feedbacks of the landing.
It was an exciting time.

It was a great day. I stayed up way past my bedtime on a Sunday night. My, how things have changed.
Not to change the subject too much but, I give you the new face of NASA:
WAKE UP AMERICA!
Houston we have a problem...

I noticed several billboards with “RR” in the lower right corner on I-44 yesterday. The boards carried a quotation from the Gipper.

Missouri will be a key state if we are to win in 2012. Great news.

Yeah, if not for the Obama administration we'd be on course to repeat the Apollo 11 landing in time for the 60th anniversary.

Maybe private industry could do to sooner, cheaper and better?

Love that billboard. "Hope" should be changed to "Hype" and then it would be perfect.....

Here’s a link to full(?) mission audio. Last year they played it in real time 40 years to the second. Now you can listen to it at your leisure:
