Very soon, there will be no more people alive that have been on another planet.

I know, that is a true, "minority of a minority," people who have walked on the Moon. In known history, there have only been twelve and already four have passed on. B-( Also, to remember seeing a man walk on the Moon live on TV, you have to be over 40. It was an amazing time, despite our problems with Vietnam and other things, we did manage to reach out to the stars and space and then we retreated and turned back. We wasted those 40 years plus and are still doing so now. I support the ISS, we do need to be up there somehow but we should have done better. A side note, I'm an amateur radio operator, they have a ham radio setup aboard the ISS so I might try to contact them as they orbit over.

I still remember exactly where I was watching the first moonwalk. Wow, that was special.
