Youngeyes Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 Once upon a time a United States President commited this country to landing on the moon in ten years time. This country and government united and showed our strength and greatness. When we come together, no country on Earth is as great as America. Remember that greatness while we remember that moment 45 years ago. With 30 seconds of fuel left ,Neil Armstrong radioed ,"Houston, Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed." Neil Armstrong then stepped into history and uttered those immortal words. "That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind." He then planted the American flag on the surface of the moon. One of the greatest memories of my life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dranoel Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 I was 6 yrs old that night. My parents let me stay up late to watch it. I remember it clearly even now. And I also remember going outside to look up at the moon and try to see them. And I still cannot fathom the conspiracy theorists that say it never happened. There is so much evidence that proves it and all you need is a good telescope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EEH Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 How well I remember. My first son was born just a few days later! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dranoel Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 And having discovered it wasnt made of cheese, we never went back. It's ok. If it had been made of cheese, we'd have put a lot of dairy farmers out of work, eaten half of it by now and have half a dozen radical conservation groups trying to save it.

bountyhunter Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 What's amazing is how realistic the pictures were. They didn't have CGI effects back then so the lunar landscape had to be simulated in a sound stage on the Paramount lot. They did a really good job, especially the projection of the image of the earth above the lunar horizon. Just kidding...... but there are morons out there still claiming it was fake to this day.

Cloyd Rivers @CloydRivers · Jul 20 There are two types of countries. Ones that use the metric system, and ones that have walked on the Moon. Merica.
