"That's one small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind."

You can hear the long pause between the words "one" and "giant" as Neil Armstrong realizes he flubbed his one line that he had rehearsed over and over again in front of the mirror.

Back in the day these guys were Super Heroes. I was 9 years old and remember watching it on TV. We so need something like this again in our country.

Too bad it didn’t occur during a full color’d moon, I hear the latest full one was a strawberry moon a day or so ago.

I remember sitting by a small B&W TV at zero dark hours and waiting and watching history unfold.

I look forward to sitting by a 65 incher and watching it again.

I attended an Apollo 10 50th anniversary celebration at NASA Johnson Space Center in April. I even attended a lunch with Lt. General Tom Stafford (88), who was the Commander of the flight.

Everyone who witnessed it (on VERY fuzzy TV) cares.

Definitely. In the space nerd set. I’m friends with the president of the National Space Society, they’ve got all kinds of stuff planned.

Care ? u bet ! Great memory of it, though I never actually heard it or saw the news of it as it happened.

Was in boot camp @ the MCRD Rifle range, when the Drill Instruction kicked us out of our racks onto the grinder in our skivvies.
He had us wave to the Men on the moon.

I was at Jetty Park at Port Canaveral for the launch, and I hope to be at KSC for the big anniversary celebration.

No doubt, there are facts and observations that Neil Armstrong took to the grave. Some may call these facts ‘secrets’. I’ll bet his sons know a lot more than the average American. Neil was very private after returning from space.
He may have just been overwhelmed at all the attention.
