Hi Kevin,
Yes, that's was another amazing moment. I remember that well, too, watching the flickering scenes on a B&W TV - the reception wasn't great in our area, but yes, it really was something. It was an
amazing time.
I remember one of the first books I learned to read was called, "You Will Go to the Moon," but I didn't think it would ever happen. Then there they were, just a few years later, landing on the moon!
My Grandfather's lifetime was certainly amazing. In it he saw the world go from the horse and buggy to the space shuttle. He saw countries and empires rise and fall, and new ones rise in their place. When he was a boy, everyone carried little framed slate boards and chalk to school to write on. By the time he died, the first truly portable laptops had come out! What an amazing century!
God bless,
Dave
