Apollo Night

Jul 20, 2009 22:44

Forty years ago today, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin received the longest long-distance telephone call ever placed: from the Oval Office in the White House, to the surface of the Moon.

Where will we look back on this from, forty years from now?

What will we be able to tell our grandchildren, "No s**t, I was there when...."?

We are the Children of the Space Age.
Thank you, our parents:

Virgil Grissom
Ed White
Roger Chaffee

Buzz Aldrin
Neil Armstrong
Alan Bean
Gene Cernan
Pete Conrad
Charles Duke
James Irwin
Edgar Mitchell
Harrison Schmitt
David Scott
Alan Shepard
John Young

and so many more...
