Tranquility Base Here. The Eagle has landed

[nstoolman1]

Did not see it anywhere on here.

I was 13 and glued to the t.v. when it happened.

I had both the Saturn 5 model and the L.E.M.

I could spout Apollo facts left and right. My mother said if i spent

as much effort learning my school stuff I would be in college before I knew it.

I was the same with engines and cars.

Thanks for the reminder, nstoolman.....

 

I have a vivid memory of it.....It was the 1st time that my Father allowed to stay up for the night ( I was 12 and it was night in Italy at the time of landing) to watch with him this historical event.....

 

It was moving  when the TV guy  announced Mr. Armstrong had set foot on the lunar soil , immediately followed by Mr. Aldrin..........

 

Note....Mr. Collins ( the one who had to stay on LEM)  was born in Italy ( Rome)
