[lace-chat] RE:man on the moon
I don't remember where I was or what I was doing, but I do remember that the first words spoken on the moon were It's a gray, powdery substance. The small step thing was recited later. I wrote a poem about the event twenty or thirty years later: We called the man Columbus He's that unknown indian, we said . We called the man Columbus Columbus was Eric the Red. -- Joy Beeson [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://home.earthlink.net/~joybeeson/ http://home.earthlink.net/~joybeeson/LINKS/KITTEN.HTM west of Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A.

In our family it was the other way round - I made my parents watch it. In fact I nagged them about it so much for weeks in advance that they gave in to me (then aged 11) and rented a TV for an entire year so that I could watch. They weren't interested at all, but I was space mad. The campaign to watch lasted a long time. The landing was well past my UK bedtime - recollection says early hours of the morning but that could be wrong - so I also had to persuade them to let me stay up to watch it live. I still reckon it's the best thing I ever saw on TV. At the time it seemed like the start of a space age. I fully expected there to be people living on the moon by now, and for men to have visited Mars. I'm wondering now if I'll ever see anything quite as thrilling again. -- Gentility is what is left over from rich ancestors after the money is gone. - John Ciardi Steph Peters, Manchester, England [EMAIL PROTECTED] Scanned by WinProxy http://www.Ositis.com/ To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

My parents did that to me too - made me watch it, even though I don't really remember it - more from the video from later years. I was 5 at the time. I vividly remember Apollo 13 though (love the movie), and remember thinking about what would happen if they couldn't get them back down, and especially Apollo 17 and the Moon Buggy - we got to watch that in school :-) Cheers, Helen, Aussie in Denver.
