Do you remember where you where when Neil walked on the moon??


Busy applying to colleges. Spend much of the
preceding years following all the launches and
spacewalks closely, sending off to NASA for all
the brochures and press releases. Living in Houston
at the time will do that to you, what with all the
hoopla over "Space City" and the "Astrodome" and
all that............

BTW, I was 12 when Neil took that "small step," and I was in 1st grade when
JFK was killed and 9/11 I was sitting in front of my television watching in
absolute shock.

I agree, but it was a momentous day. I didn't think it could happen.

I was 4 or 5 and I was dumbfounded to learn that space flight wasn't like it
was in the cartoons... I kept asking about the guns they carried, and if
the had rockets to defend themselves against the bad men in outerspace.
The place was my parents house at Driglington in Yorkshire, England.

Not long after that we moved to America and I remember crying my eyes out
that two of my best friends woudn't be joining us... My Dad's car (a Ford
Anglia) and my super sized teddy bear, (the damned thing would have needed
an extra seat on the plane) and the airline was BOAC.

And those bitter and ominous words by Gough Whitlam etched into Australian
history ....

Well may we say "God Save The Queen. Because nothing will save the Governor

Landing: A controlled mid-air collision with a planet.

I was in summer school at college. I watched on someone's TV, but I was
so into my own little world that what was going on didn't quite click.
