Arguably the greatest single achievement  of mankind so far. Yet it was 50 years ago. We couldn’t do it today for 10 times the cost. I wonder what’s changed?

It's probably like getting me to leave my 5 county area.   I've been to the outer-space and determined that there's no good reason to go back.   Especially if it's gonna cost alot of money to go there.

We've learned that we can bounce around in white suits just fine right here where we are.

I've been seeing that thing also the last few nights.  Too big to be a star, not sure what it is.

  I've got some pictures on my old laptop somewhere. See if I can find them. Just don't want the men in black knocking on my door 😆

Noway!   Bouncing around on the moon while pooping in your pants?

I can think of alot of things that have benefitted mankind way more than that.

Was at the parade of astronauts Saturday in Cocoa Beach celebrating that event, my 4 year old grandson loved it.  Al Worden came by in a convertible vet sitting on the trunk and I told my wife that’s because his cojones were too big to fit in the rear seat of that little car 😂.
