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 came to realise that every time we recognise something human in creatures, we are also recognising something creaturely in ourselves. That is central to the rejection of human supremacism as the pernicious doctrine it is.

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 ?  ;)
