1st man on the moon
« on: July 22, 2024, 12:39:12 PM »
Yesterday I celebrated my birthday and I realized that it was 55 years since I watched Neil Armstrong step on the moon on our then b&w TV. What an achievment for technology of the day. I feel old.

It was really early on my birthday and we managed to stay up (with naps). At least I got a present early  ;D

I was 5 but was woken up for it. I don't think I was that impressed at the time but it is amazing.

I was 19 and remember the moon landing very well. :) The following month my husband and I tied the knot.

Is that the moon landing or your wedding you are talking about ?  ;)
