I've been listening to the "real time" rebroadcast of the Apollo 11 mission. Really interesting stuff, hard to believe it was 40 years ago. Yesterday they were traveling over 5000 feet-per-second, now they're down to around 3000, and they're about 180,000 miles from earth.

What a difference between how they're doing things now with data uploads, etc. They've been having to read up antenna settings and a bunch of other things one bit at a time verbally.

Doc's our brother from another mother...only interplanetary in this case!! :laugh:
 
I saved the NY Times edition from July 21, 1969. About 4 years ago I had it framed to protect it.
 
Wish I had kept some of the old newspapers....our grandchildren need to see them.
 
Listening to the real-time rebroadcast of Apollo 11... they're at 8200ft and descending. 40 years later, it's absolutely incredible.
 
It still makes th' hair on my nape stand up.

Kids kinda shrug and say: "so?"

Have a friend who's an eighth grade high school physics teacher. She was trying to explain the astounding nature of the event as it was played live across the planet on TV. She had a "Little Johnny" who piped up and said: "Well, if it was THAT important why didn't you video tape it?!?!"

argggh.
 
I think every generation has had that kind of thing at some point or another. Unfortunately.
 
I was tending bar at La Boucherie in the French Quarter when they landed in Ariz...er, on the moon. My cell phone has a more sophisticated computer than they had at that time. I truly think it was staged. No kidding. And they can't even get a toilet to flush right on the Space Station. Hmmmmmm.

My sister's husband was a high-tech government welder for the lunar module, in Arizona. Even he doesn't believe it was for real.
 
I think Sir Patrick Moore said it all. Other than that, I'll say no more. To argumentative and I think the subject should be dropped. JMHO. PJ
