I was listening to "60s on 6" on Sirius XM on the way to work this morning when they played a recording of the launch of Apollo 11 from July 16, 1969. 50 years ago today was the launch of mans first trip to the surface of the moon.
I started laughing when I realized I couldn't talk to anyone at work about it.....because none of them were even born yet when it happened!
We'll celebrate the 50th anniversary of the landing and, about 6.5 hours later, the "One Great Leap for Mankind" first steps on the moon on Friday, July 20th.
It's still amazing what our space program was able to accomplish in a relatively short period of time.
