When Neil Armstrong stepped on the moon, I was 11 years old sitting on my den floor watching him on a black and white tv.
I knew it was a big deal at the time but didn't realize it was as many have referred to it as, the biggest accomplishment in the history of mankind.
I'm just thankful I still remember it. It would be sad if one watched it and couldn't remember it.
In the 80s I had the opportunity to stand at the NASA countdown clock and watch a space shuttle launch. Television cannot convey the power generated during that launch. It was unbelievable to feel the ground shake from miles away and see the ripples in the lake.
So today 44 years after man walked on the moon, I salute NASA on a job well done!
