MOON MEMORIES - THE EAGLE HAS LANDED

[akoni20091]

Well done !! Big compliments from an old Apollo freak in the Netherlands (Holland)

[NotaTrollTravlin]

Very well done ! When I was young, I got to sit in John Glenn's "space ship" looking back it must have been Friendship 7, it was so small that I remember feeling claustrophobic, (My Step Father was a flight instructor) While I remember the moon landing on TV, I have a more vivid memory of sitting outside just looking up at the moon afterward.

Thanks Nota...

Wow - that is so cool (not the claustrophobic part) ;P

I have opposite of claustrophobia - so I'd felt all snuggy.

What an exciting moment for the world. Walter Cronkite, an iconic figure.

The Space program of late has faltered. I wonder if we will ever reach that level of excitement and optimism for the future again. Maybe when man lands on Mars.

[NiteBlogger]

Sorta sad, isn't it?

Maybe you're right about Mars...

I have faint memories of it. During the telecast my grandfather took me outside to look at the moon, and I could have sworn I saw them from the front porch (the power of persuasion) .

Joseph, I bet you did see them! Age 4, grandfather taught me to color & draw. Because of him AND my grandmother encouraging & believing in me, that I'm who I am today, an artist. Like you, I was grandmother's favorite, she nurtured my imagination & creativity until she passed at age 93. I believe they gave me the gift to see the world in a very special way. ;)

I remenber very well that my family and the most of all the other people of that place we went in the restaurant , the only that had the television in those years , to see the landing on the Moon.

How many wonderful memories that day, moon landing and a bottle of coca cola ! LOL
