Their smart, but what about the original tapes? NASA can't find them. I love a good conspiracy.

I still remember… I in the parking lot of a marina on the Clinton River in Mount Clemens, Michigan. It was a bright, sunny day. I still remember Neil Armstrong’s famous words… "One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind."

It was a thrill then and still a thrill remembering it today.

I think it’s pretty obvious the next set of answers to our existence are in outer space. Not the only place of course, so much else we need to do. But we fight wars killing each other like Ukraine and spend billions but can’t get back to the moon. Its obvious that the future of our species depends on us getting into space, again not the only thing but one of the keys for our spices to survive. It’s so easy to sit back and take for granted this wonderful planet and its environment that is so computable to our species, but it has been that way for only a brief moment in its history so no doubt it won’t last, then where will we go?
No matter your beliefs maybe God, the creator, or whomever is testing us to see if we can see forward enough and do the smart things to ensure our spices survival. Maybe more so if you don’t believe, don’t we all want a place for those grandkids, great grandkids etc.

Strange how things have progressed over the years

New Horizons, Launched in 2006 on it's way to Pluto, got to the orbit of the moon once leaving Earth in approximately three hours.

Depends on the mission, I suppose.

I am still impressed at how smart these people were!!

There were thousands of dedicated workers with one goal in mind. But, they were not all smart, I know, cause I were one.

There is a ceiling border in the Wright Museun in Kill Devil Hills, NC that reads (something like) "66 years from Kitty Hawk to the moon." I was almost as amazed/impressed as when we landed there.

One of the most meaningful lines of our generation.

That was the day I got married, July 20, 1969, certainly not planned

They landed in the afternoon a little after 4 pm but Armstrong didn’t set foot on the moon until almost 11 pm EDT.

It was quite late but I stayed up to watch it. I didn’t want to miss it.
