Lest we forget

Just 35 years ago today Neil Armstrong set foot on the moon. I had recently graduated from college; I'm old enough to have read Rocket Ship Galileo when it was still science fiction instead of alternative history.

35 years ago today, I was 9 days old. :)
Though I don't pay much attention to such things, my Sun sign is Cancer, so I'm also a Moon child...

35 years ago today, my sister was exactly one year old. And my father and I were glued to the old black-and-white Zenith TV set, watching the broadcast from the moon.

Thanks for reminding me!

I was 10 and watched the landing on the TV. Afterwards I watched the bombing practice of the old Liberty Ship in the middle of Cape Cod Bay. It was practice for bombing Vietnam..etc.
