No no. It was very clearly enunciated by Glenn Beck: there were the guys who went to the moon; and there were the guys and gals who went to Woodstock.

None of the men who walked on the moon were Baby Boomers. IIRC, the youngest of those guys was born in 1943.

“No no. It was very clearly enunciated by Glenn Beck: there were the guys who went to the moon; and there were the guys and gals who went to Woodstock.”

They not only went to Woodstock, they went into politics, journalism and education. That odious lot from the boomers is resposible for most of the mess we are in today.

Neil Armstrong was born in 1930, he was NOT a baby boomer. Buzz Aldrin was also born in 1930, and so was Michael Collins. So, the guys who went to the moon were part of the Greatest generation ( as Tom Brokaw called them ).

As for Woodstock, the age of MOST of those who went varied from 18 to 23. Clearly they were of the Baby Boomer generation.

Practically all of the guys in on the moon missions started with the Mercury missions in the fifties. They were not baby boomers.

We don't talk about it much, but a lot of our space program was braintrusted by Nazi scientists we sneaked out of Germany after WWII.

If Hitler hadn't led Germany to total destruction, it's scary how advanced they would be today. IIRC, much of our stealth technology was based on early German research.
