Way back on July 20, 1969, I watched the Apollo 11 moon landing on the big black and white TV in my parent's living room. After seeing Eagle set down there was going to be a long delay before the astronauts stepped out on the surface. I went outside and stared at the moon thinking to myself, "Wow! There are people up there right now!" Ever since then, every time I look at the moon, I cannot help remembering there have been men standing up there. Thank you for your role in changing our world, Mr. Armstrong.
One of my earliest memories is of watching his walk on the moon. Never noticed the pumpkin bucket before though . . . or the mask . . . :O)
ReplyDeleteThey were official NASA gear. Y'know, for the Hallowe'en mission to find out if the witch really flies across the moon. ;-)
