You know what is a bummer, there has been an entire generation of people who were born and grown into adulthood that have never ,ever seen a man walk on the Moon live on TV. It's worse than that even. A lot of them, maybe even a majority, don't believe it really happened. They've been hoodwinked by "faked moon landing" conspiracy theory wackos. Those people who push that lie are a disgrace, and they dishonor the memory and achievements of not only those who flew those missions, but the thousands who directly worked on the programs that made them a reality.

How in the world can people think it never happened? And why would they want to?
I remember it as though it was yesterday. I was in my very early twenties, and my husband and I had a couple of kids but no TV, so we listened to everything on the radio. Then later we saw it on news reports on the TV of friends.
It was goosebumps then and it’s goosebumps now.

I know. B-( IIRC, Buzz Aldrin decked one of them a few years ago when one of them came up to him and told him that he really did not walk on the Moon. Good for Buzz!
