This week is the 20th anniversary of the first humans landing
on and walking on the moon.
Even though I was only 11 at the time, I remember that week as
if it had happened yesterday.
I also remember the *feelings* of that week as well. It was
as if the world had come together for a time of peace amidst
the turmoil of what was happening back then.
Did anyone else feel this way?

To me, Apollo 11 and the Apollo 8 (Christmas Eve 1968 when Borman
read from Genesis as the module rounded the far side of the moon)
were the most important events since the first amphibians climbed
out of the ocean. They were the real beginning of our return to
the stars.

re: .0 (Cindy-roo)
I was the "leader" of a church group then and it was just
a couple of weeks prior to my going into the Air Force, but I
had everyone (nearly 2 dozen, I believe) come over to my parents
house (color tvs were still somewhat new) and watch the moon
walk (before Michael Jackson's ;-) ) there. I still have some
photos I took of that time. I remember everyone being transfixed
and in awe...at least I was. And those footprints could last
500,000 years...enough time for a few lifetimes, eh?
In a vaguely related note, Lazaris was talking a little bit
about cold fusion a few weeks ago and mentioned that we were still
wobbling between a reality of that type of energy and one without.
But that if we did make up our minds to have it, it would be the
greatest invention or discovery since the discovery of fire. Pretty
awesome thought, isn't it?

re: 0 (Cindy)
I also remember that day vividly, I was only 17 but when Armstrong
stepped on the surface of the moon I cried like a baby. It was
a very wonderful feeling as if all would be right with the world.
It was at a time where I was REALLY questioning the existance
of any type of loving Higher Power, but for that one moment I
knew that all would be right with the world. In watching many
of the T.V. anniversary specials all those feelings were renewed.
I have a 10 year old son today that I was able to share that
experience with, I still have the newspapers from that week.
(It shows how often I clean!) We are closer because we were
able to share that experience.
Michael
which reminds me I need to clean that
