Museum pieces now. See, kids, we once reached to the stars.

There is a generation, well, almost two, that are adults now but they have never seen a man walk on the Moon live on TV. It is just old films and history books to them. To have seen man walk on the Moon, you have to be at least 40 or just past it. Also, do not forget that in our written history, only 12 men walked on the Moon and if you count those who stayed in orbit above the Moon, only 24 people have left the Earth's orbit and flew above the Moon. That is a true minority. Out of the 12 that walked on the moon, only 8 are still alive, in their late 70's and early 80's. The same is true if you go by the 24 men, only 18 are alive now. It's like we reached out to the stars and tehen pulled our arms back.

Ping to RCA2000, since this is a space topic.
