Very nice annika. Tomorrow in history the first rant using the words "We put a man on the moon but we can't..." was used. yuk yuk

Nicely done. I had not gotten around to doing a post about this topic yet.

Greatest accomplishment? Yep, probably what I would choose. And a nice reminder of how different the world and resources were that made it happen.

What about penicillin?

I *had* forgotten. With the new job, I've been crazybusy all day at work and too tired to surf much in the evenings. My brain is full of new and strange acronyms and processes I'm learning.

Besides, guys aren't *supposed* to remember anniversaries. ;)

Dawn, Penicillin was huge, but it would've been done eventually by someone. The moon was directed effort that would not have happened by accident. Now if you'd have said Hostess Snowballs...

I was 15 at the time, and although I was a big jock at the time, the fact that the LEM pilot, I'm thinking Buzz Aldrin, landed the thing himself, was and is so cool.

History was made that day, and I along with millions of others around the world--think about that--had a ringside seat.

Folks, those two guys, and Collins too, were truly pioneers.

Not to mention an example of true American spirit.

Mmm...hostess snowballs.

Oh, come on people! It was all a FAKE!

I'm just an occasional visitor here so far, but I had to pass on this video of Buzz Aldrin taking out a conspiracy theorist who called him a coward and a liar, in case you haven't seen it.

Interesting thought, but my memory of the day makes it seem a bit less eventful. My family and I were on the Navajo reservation (Dineta nation) that day and at the time of the landing we had stopped just off the res at a saloon for dinner. An old man at the bar watched closely, and then said (roughly): "No big deal. The ancestors went there a long time ago, before they came down here to live. There was nothing on the moon worth staying there for." Probably true, at least the last part.
