Neil Armstrong, Edwin Aldrin, and Michael Collins left earth for the moon on Apollo 11. As Collins orbited the moon Armstrong left the first mark on another world. We should remember this day but I'm afraid too many have forgotten, more don't care, and too many don't believe.
I remember watching this on our crappy color TV at home. The reception was bad because we all used antenna. Walter Cronkite did the play by play but the picture was better on ABC and Jules Bergman was entertaining.
Yes, I do have to drop a political point that Obama has destroyed our manned space program and I hardy believe that Obama will even acknowledge this date and his contribution.
