There were tragedies in space travel later with two Shuttle flights, but its sad to see "Atlantis" making its last voyage and thinking kids of today won't as many space missions to follow by television into orbit as they should. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing your memories Jack.doug noakeshttp://dnoakes.multiply.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2503771624520315711.post-89468028523003133562011-07-13T18:58:53.000-07:002011-07-13T18:58:53.000-07:00Doug I will never forget seeing that in on a Black...Doug I will never forget seeing that in on a Black and White TV. I was a time within history where everything came to a halt and it was one which I still remember. These were great times in history and althought I don't have sound right now I still can recall it to this very day. Still to this day the thought of placing a man onto the moon and there there were those produced segments on the side when they didnt have great transmission but hey that was something which I shall never forget.Initiative Stainhttp://initiativestain.multiply.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2503771624520315711.post-2156391141650890352011-07-13T11:35:31.000-07:002011-07-13T11:35:31.000-07:00Looking back, it was an amazing time to be alive, ...Looking back, it was an amazing time to be alive, Will. I remember being glued to that now-impossibly passe old console television, watching Walter Cronkite and Wally Shara broadcast that first incredible moon landing. <br /><br /> My brother was back from overseas in the Air Force and he and my parents and I all went into the backyard when the landing and the moonwalk was over for that day. We all looked up at the moon, told some jokes about moon-men and laughed at the sheer audacity of it all.<br /><br /> Looking back it seems all the more improbable given how primative those lunar craft were in terms of computers and the like. <br /><br />Reading Tom Wolfe's "The Right Stuff" and seeing the film made from that later I realized just how those early Mercury missions like John Glenn's were such nail-biters. When JFK said we were going to the moon and bringing a crew back before 1970 it must have seemed to many like a total folly. We could barely keep a man in orbit when he said that and it looked more likely we'd all see a Russian landing first. <br /><br />Great memories indeed.

I did. <br /><br />Like so many others, I was glued at age fifteen to the set when Apollo 11 landed; later on I squinted at the TV to try and decipher what I was seeing from that landing-leg camera - then seeing Armstrong step off on the moon. <br /><br />Good memories; Doug....)Astra Navigohttp://astranavigo08.multiply.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2503771624520315711.post-4269509395514475032011-07-13T09:46:25.000-07:002011-07-13T09:46:25.000-07:00Cassandra, you just provided the perfect summation...Cassandra, you just provided the perfect summation, encapsulating in a short paragraph exactly what I was grasping to express. <br /><br />'Long may they be remembered" indeed. <br /><br />Thanks!doug noakeshttp://dnoakes.multiply.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2503771624520315711.post-84392116020666678342011-07-13T03:03:57.000-07:002011-07-13T03:03:57.000-07:00Where would we be without men and women of adventu...Where would we be without men and women of adventure.
