We got there with weaker computers than we now carry in our pockets.
Amazing!

the ragheads manage to work their way into the conversation in an otherwise decent thread about a truly significant day in our history .Only because your hero, Obama, told the director of NASA that his main job was to make the Muslims feel good about their contribution to science.
go figger ........

The words "Houston....Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed." ..still makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up.
Thanks for reminding us of how great we can be.
In honor of this day I will break out my 5 DVD set of HBOs "From the Earth to the Moon".
Followed by "Apollo 13".
