I was born in the wrong era. Now everyone cares about their iPads and iPhones and don’t give a rats ass about exploring the cosmos. Instead we’ve put ourselves behind just by standing still. While other countries go where we’ve been and beyond, we’ll be sitting on our couch or in front of our beloved iPad’s watching. Sad times. Wake up America.
Evidence of mankind will be left as fresh as it was the day it was left, even after mankind has died out or left earth
I was eleven at the time. Will never forget it. That was the peak accomplishment in space to this date,hopefully not the last. I have little faith that such a leap is politically or financially doable in the near future, at least not by the USA.
HOW THE BLAZES HAS THIS ONLY 6,000 VIEWS???

You and I are kindred spirits. We belong as much in space as we belonged coming down from the trees.
This augments the original CBS coverage with film footage shot by the astronauts and from fixed cameras in the lunar module. There was no live video until just before Armstrong stepped on the surface.
Thumbs up if you were sent here through a related video on michael Jackson moonwalking
thank you for posting this… i cannot fathom how we strayed so far from our path of exploration. we were not meant to still be here.
there is something called as FAKE so tat is true
I still get chills still hearing and see humans on the moon. We can accomplish anything. It is in our DNA to explore and we will go back there to the moon sooner than the public expects and that is just as exciting. Stop war and death it’s a waste of energy.and explore the world and the universe.
I cannot believe I still get chills watching, not just the mind-boggling landing itself, but Walter Cronkite’s sense of awe. One of the touchstones of mankind.
