I would have liked to have been there back when we were just going to the moon. A time of hope. Shining city on a hill and all that.

Some of my earliest memories are just before the Mercury Seven astronauts were chosen. There were multiple failures of the prospective rockets. They blew up on the launch pad, or soon after launch.

The bravery of those first spacemen!
