This weekend, the Apollo 11 Moon Landing happened forty-five years ago to day and date.
Video:
I remember sitting on the stone ledge of our patio after church on Sunday, July 20, 1969 sipping a drink as radio carried the story of the Apollo 11 Moon landing. Then, that evening my Dad tuned to a shortwave station in the darkened living room as we heard, live, the story of the Moon Walk. The next morning, the Gleaner headline was I think two inches high in block capitals.
Let us remind ourselves of this now long ago but still important event in the history of science and technology. END
