watching it on our black and white television. That was something that seemed so incredible and I will never forget. I remember afterwards looking up at the moon and thinking about them being on it. Those kinds of frontier moments seem like a thing of the past now.
I was probably looking up at the moon at the same time watched the landing then later went out and looked at the moon. Then we watched Armstrong and Aldrin step on to the surface. I want back out after that to look at the moon some more. I made 3 scrapbooks about the landing. I still have them.
and a great nation delivered... I severely doubt that we could do another similar feat as complicated again. I always wanted to be an astronaut because of the space race... At least I got to work on many space projects that have made me proud of my small contributions.
so was obviously into it. I was three. I am told I watched it on TV but don't remember. What a magnificient acheivement. Any country that does it now should still be respected but to do it with the technology we had 45 years ago is truly amazing.
A National Research Council report, 3D Printing in Space, says it's too soon for 3-D Printing to significantly enhance space operations.

"Many of the claims made in the popular press about this technology have been exaggerated."
In my limited experience, one of the issues is that 3D printing is at least right now, they can't really print anything very large (think engine block size).

We do have a female Thor now, so that's something.
Awesome things are still happening today. You just won't find major American news outlets giving it much attention, for whatever reasons.
I'm fascinated by the series of Expeditions to the International Space Station. A 38-year-old American just made his first trip into space on May 28. I don't recall seeing it given much attention at all. You had to put on Euro News or the NASA channel to see coverage of it.
Maybe the U.S. corporate media think it's old hat or something. I sure don't. Watching the liftoff and the video feed of the astronauts inside the capsule never gets old.

We're talking about a space mission perhaps taking place in the 20's or 30's so yes--it is theoretical.
Also remember the ticker tape parade. Had my first summer job, a back office job (now extinct due to technology) with another extinct species, a small Wall Street brokerage house. For the parade, we threw everything out the window except large furniture and our supervisors.
And I live in Virginia.
Landing on the moon...pfft.

I wish we would go back, or at least send some rovers up there

Knowing your critical thinking abilities, I don't really even want to know what you meant by this, so I will simply douse (or dowse) my curiousity.
