[paraconti]

@creekside20985 1969 is IN the 7th decade. 1900s, 10s, 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s = 7 decades.

Come on ppl. You really don't buy that stuff do you?

Don't you think there would be a Blast Crater under the LEM?

Where was the Crater?

I remember it well, I stayed home from school and watched this live.

A truly great achievement....now if we could just find Bin Laden........

Seriosly, Imagine if all the money spent chasing terrorists could have gone into the space program- There might be a permanent Tranquility base by now.

So much was done during the cold war.....

Hopefully, we will revive those days again. I'd like to see that pioneering spirit we had in those days make a come back. You guys should look up VASIMR. I think it has great potential for setting us up on the path to a manned mars mission. It could be decades or maybe a century until it's perfected.

Its so sad that those days are gone forever, in those days we admire the scientist, the engineers, the hero astronauts. But nowadays the world amazes at some crap people like Paris Hilton..

[TonyN737]

Yeah, it's pathetic. More people could tell you what J. Lo wore to the Oscars than what Neil and Buzz wore on the Moon.

@matatan69

100 thumbs up from me for you writing that! Wholly agree with you, sir! These days are rife with the lack of big imagination and the failures of greedy, evil men which have steered the first-world governments on a search for greater profit by waging worthless warfare. It is ironic that the same catalyst for bringing the moon landing about has driven also the failures of these last two shitty decades.
