There was already a Treaty in place which prevented that claim, even if someone had told Neil to make such a claim.

Yes. The Soviets pushed for it when it became clear
they weren't going to get there first.
What quisling negotiator agreed to a treaty surrendering the right of discovery for the very first time in recorded history???

“The dream of rocketing Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid to the moon just became more unlikely.”
I know it would have been expensive to send the horse sh*t there too but well worth to show the other *ssclowns what we have in store for them too...

I remember the Moon Landing. We had been chopping cotton all morning and came into the house to sit around the TV and watch it. There we were, dirty, from doing manual labour all morning and watching the pinnacle of technology on the TV. After the landing it was all we could talk about while we went about finishing the cotton field.

VV, didn’t see a sarc tag.
The moon landing was on a Sunday evening, July 20, 1969.
Were you chopping cotton at night?

I was 8. We had just moved to Houston July 1, 1969. Went to to the neighbors house to watch it because they had a color TV.
My Grandma (Dad’s Mom) was born in 1901 and lived to be 103. I often stop and think of ALL the things She saw in Her lifetime: Horse & Buggy to cars/The Wright Bros./Lindberg/Great Depression/WWI/WWII/Korea/Nam/Space Flight/All the Mideast Crap/Space Shuttle/etc.
She outlived all 3 of Her Sons

to see that much history in one lifetime is incredible... also shows how fast technology advanced in that short a time as compared to the rest of recorded history

I remember seeing a documentary about the Apollo program not too long ago that included this guy’s story. He got into some serious bureaucratic trouble for going over heads to get his LOR concept into the discussion and was effectively exiled for a time before returning as a hero after Apollo 11.

Of course, the former did and the latter didn’t. Shovel-ready wasn’t as shovel-ready as claiming that you could keep your doctor if you like him/her.

I had two aunts that were born in the 1890’s and they lived to see Halley’s Comet twice and the moon landing.
To: exit82
I am sure he is talking about the first man on the moon walk by our two astronauts. I distinctly remember it was a sunny summer afternoon in Vermillion, Ohio. Obviously nobody watched the actual “LANDING” on the moon.

Yeah, and She smoked unfiltered Camel’s and drank Bloody Mary’s everyday.
She also rode a Camel at one point and owned Her own Camel Saddle from when She traveled to/lived in the Mid-east w/My Aunt in the Army.
