Many Moons Ago. Anybody remember?

I was eight years old when we landed on the moon. I remember it so clearly. It was amazing. I remember how everyone. Young old, rich, poor, everyone was glued to the TV or Radio. I remember watching as the lunar lander search for a safe place to land. I remember Neal stepping of the ladder and saying those words. It still gives  me goosebumps. I remember Tang. I remember Cereal Boxes with cut outs you could make into the lunar lander. I dreamed of being a astronaut.

PS I'd like to see us go back.

Del the cat:
Times of great optimism... seem to have got a bit bogged down since then.  :(

Pat B:
It sure has Del.
 BJ, I had just graduated from highschool and remember it like it was today. Been watching a lot of stuff on PBS about it this past week.
 Something else big that happened a bit later that summer...WOODSTOCK!   The summer of '69 was my renaissance summer.   ;D :OK
BJ, I think we are heading back to the moon. They have found ice(h2o) in some craters on the dark side so that alone will give them water, oxygen, and hydrogen for fuel. And now it's not just the US paying for it but other countries and private companies.

bjrogg:
It sure was Del. It seems the great exploration drive has dimmed. It had the entire world watching. Man had dreamed and told tales of going to the moon since he first looked up at it I'm sure. It brought so much of what technology we have today.
Pat that was certainly a interesting point in time. I'm sure man will go back. Most probably in a more serious long term stepping stone way.
Hope I'm still around to see it. Probably won't be as big of a deal as the first time, but for a awful lot of people it would be the first time they saw it. Just the pictures and video would be so much better.
Even if they just used their phones.lol

DC:
As much as I am in favour of space exploration. I don't understand something. What's in this for these companies that are getting involved? They wouldn't do it if there wasn't money at the end. How do they expect to make a buck?
