And yet it was one of the highlights of your life.

I’m not sure that I actually remember the moon landing itself, but re-entry and the three huge red and white parachutes are seared in my then six-year old mind. That just amazed me.

I was indeed a weird highlight: “Remember when we watched those white blobs on television that were astronauts???”

But I do remember how hot it was that morning...because I took a break and walked outside, and after just a few minutes, I walked back in, and not only was I drenched in sweat, but my glasses completely fogged up and I couldn’t see anything!
