One Small Step for Man

One Giant Leap for Mankind. Hard to believe it's been 39 years ago today that man first walked on the moon. An event that I remember like it was yesterday, sitting in front of the old black and white TV in total awe.

I was at sea in the Western Pacific and remember hearing it over the ship's radio patched into the network feed.

Watched it at my girlfriend's house in the wee hours of the morning. She was asleep. I married her anyway.

Were you living in Europe at the time? The landing was at 16:17 hours edt and the lunar walk approx 6 hours after at around 22:20 hours edt.

Unfortunately I didn't watch it on TV as I was busy enough taking my first ever breath at that moment..

It was the lunar walk I was referring to. My memory was that I stayed up pretty late - with no one else awake to share the excitement.

We kept our kids, then 3 and 6, up the whole night just so they could see history in the making. Don't think they appreciated it then, but I've heard both of them tell friends that they saw it live. It was, and still is, one of the most amazing technological feats of all time. Right up there with Lindberg.

it must have occurred in the 60's because I don't remember it at all....too bad...it seems like it would have been quite the historic event to experience lucid
