Remembering Apollo 11 and other flights of our space program. I'm so glad that we are still explorers. There has never been exploration without disasters and, yes, there have been several with our space program, but I'm glad that we have not stopped reaching for the unknown. I think we will wither as a species if we stop striving to do what we have never done before.
I was 14 years old in July of 1969. I sat at the dinette of my family's travel trailer watching a small black and white TV as American astronauts landed on the moon and walked on its surface. It was amazing then and it is still amazing now.
Do you remember where you were the first time we landed on the moon?
It was before my time, but I'm glad they are making an effort to preserve the videos and photos. I bet that was a monumental moment.
