Instead, except for computers and cel-phones, we are still living in 1950 SIGH!. And I thought I would be living in another star system by now. But, then, I thought we would have more freedom too DOUBLE SIGH!. On the other hand, kids are not cowering in the plenum chambers in the basements of their schools like when I was a kid either.

Re: OT: 37 Year Anniversary of Apollo 11 Moon Landing
When, JFK announced the program to send a man to the moon and return him safely in 10 years, it happened. Not long ago NASA was asked how long it would take to return to the moon. The reply was 20 years. Makes you wonder what's happened to NASA. Well no not really. If we gave the current space budget to Burt Rutan. We'd probably have space colonies with scheduled commercial flights in 10 years.

Re: OT: 37 Year Anniversary of Apollo 11 Moon Landing
- Original Message - From: Tom C Subject: Re: OT: 37 Year Anniversary of Apollo 11 Moon Landing Hi Frank. I was eight years old at the time. I remember watching it on an old BW set as well. It was a Packard-Bell 19, we didn't have color TV yet. We changed the channels with a pair of pliers. I recall my Dad telling us kids to sit down and be quiet because this was important. We watched the first moonwalk past my dad's camera, which he had put on a tripod in front of the TV so as to take pictures of the goings on.
