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

Amazing!

We were the envy of the world. A lot has changed, for the worse. We should be on Mars by now.

Well, it depends on your perspective, Joe. Right now the self-esteem of Muslims is our national priority. For our space program. Which doesn't go into space anymore. But it's still our space program. Isn't it?

The most incredible times of my life.

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".

Man those were some times!
