Hello all,

 

Its some 45 years since man walked on the moon on 21/07/1969

 

The First Men on the Moon: The Apollo 11 Lunar Landing

 

I was nearly 11 years old watching those grainy images on our first TV set live as they landed about 20.30 then walked at 03.00, transfixed by every minute & perhaps it inspired my interest in science & technology.

 

Your thoughts?

Somewhat surprising that the anniversary of this event barely caused a ripple in the press although Israel & air incidents currently top the news.

 

I was somewhat privileged some years ago to take a VIP tour at Kennedy & talk to scientists aboard the international space station, to be honest it diddn't seem all that different to my own job as a submariner in the propulsion department of a nuclear submarine.

 

That said, I have the utmost respect for these people who worked tirelessly towards the ultimate objective & yes, it still makes my hair stand on end listening to the dialogue.
