Do you remember where you were?

Watching the moon landing. I was 17. Man, time flies!!

 

I was still 2 years(ish) from being conceived...

 

My mom was 7 years old

 

My mom was 6 months 9 days old. Lol.

 

I was at home in our very small farming town in central Wisconsin...I was 5. My parents made me watch the Moon landing on TV..."Pay attention, son! This is a BIG deal...this is HISTORIC!"...or something along those lines. To be honest, I didn't think it was such a big deal at the time...I was still recovering from an unsuccessful flying attempt [using my mother's green umbrella] from the roof of our garage.

 

I wasn't even a glint ... my Dad would have just sailed around the world for the first time and my Mum was still in school.

 

Not even born... but luckily I've got watches older that me!

 

Time to bust out the Axe Apollo...because nothing beats an astronaut.

Ever.

 

By the way, as people have often told me, threads are useless without pictures ....

 

Watched it on TV in Queens NY. Like Mad Dog my parents made a big deal of it, so it really stuck in my mind.

 

Celebrating the 48th anniversary of lunar landing

 

I was almost here...5 days away.

 

I was 11. I remember my Dad telling me that in 5 or 10 years time, we'll all be holidaying on the moon!

 

Well, we all know where Homer was:

 

Is that lego? Man lego are so cool now, when I was a kid the only shapes we had was square or rectangle

 

It is indeed.

Hmm, the recordings on that website have a lot less swearing than I recall.
