“On July 20, 1969, Commander Neil Armstrong became the first man on the moon. He said the historic words,
“That’s one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind.”
A camera in the Lunar Module provided live television coverage as Neil Armstrong climbed down the ladder to the surface of the moon.” ᔥ Kidport.com

If you were alive on July 20, 1969 and can remember that most exciting day, then you are most fortunate, indeed. If you had your eyes glued to the television, that is. Which was probably black and white. I must admit, back then, I thought it was kind of corny, that whole one step, big step giant leap thingy. I mean really. That’s not very good poetry.
Then fast forward bzzzzzzz to now. And I think how small I thought back then…

Good stuff. Thanks! I was 9 years old.
🙂 I was almost 19… had just gotten home from hitchhiking from college, listening all the way on the radio, in time to see the landing and first moon walk… absolutely unforgettable day…. I dream at least weekly of living on the ISS, still…..
That’s one of my best fantasies! Living on the space station. OMG! 🙂
thanks for your support G, means a LOT to me!!!
I was 19.5…

No worries, mate, we’re all in this together; wish I could be of more tangible assistance… 🙂 But, then, my vibes are powerful and sincere, so that counts too, toward improving your karmic balance, which can’t hurt…
Take care…
I sat on the floor of my then boyfriend’s ( now my husband! ) cousin’s house and we watched it on the TV. OH! how things have changed!!
That’s what I meant when I said no one who saw it would forget that day…. aye, things have change, us included…. 🙂 After the lander was safely down, the driver who had picked me up in Berkeley, and stayed to watch the landing with us, went out with me and my older brother, where we toasted the crew, and the accomplishment, with a smidgen of the Beast he had in a flask under the seat (it WAS 1969; there wasn’t the same danger or stigma in that back then….) A lot different now, for sure and for certain….
Yes some things better some worse, but we are still here so hey that is good!!
