I was just a little kid in 1969, 8 years old, but my dad and I watched every minute of the TV coverage. For me and for my dad, a WWII vet, this was the pinnacle of American ingenuity and bravery.

Godspeed Neil. The Eagle has landed.

Apollo 11:"The Eagle has landed."

At age 16, I was glued to the set for that Apollo 11 mission. Admired Neil Armstrong a lot. After the mission, when they had a ticker-tape parade for Armstrong, Aldrin, and Collins, I was right there, cheering for these heroes and got to see them up close.
