It was 40 years ago today. Check out the anniversary special at Smithsonian!
Like most families, we sat around the TV and watched Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin walk on the moon.
I can remember much of it, from Walter Cronkite's countdown to the lunar landing to Pres Nixon's speech to the astronauts.
We remember Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins.
We congratulate the crew and everyone down here who made this amazing missing possible.
And I love The Moon We Left Behind by Charles Krauthammer.
Wonder whatever happened to that US flag and landmark that we left up in the moon?
Wonder what the next visitors will say about us?
It's still remarkable to watch this video and listen to the audio of the lunar landing.
Bottom line: I was very lucky to be alive and experience one of the greatest days in world history!
