We found out for sure the moon wasn't made of cheese. Happy Apollo 11 Day.

I remember it well.
That video is annoying though. That chick has an annoying voice and I hate it when these snowflakes push the metric system on me.
But thanks for the reminder P30 -
I worked with a guy that swore it never happened. A Hollywood stunt.
Of course, he was certifiably nuts, we found out .0 -

Remember this day as well as the day Kennedy got shot.
My family was camping in Michigan's Upper Peninsula at a state park along the southern coast of Lake Superior (and Muskellunge Lake) called "Deer Park".
A guy in the campsite next to ours had a tiny battery powered TV set and allowed us to watch the moon landing on his set. I was 14 years old at the time. Fun memories and being there while history was being made is extra special![:)]0 -

snapper had a model they called the "Comet" [:)]. Snappers are cheap and easy to restore, you should give some thought to restoring yours just for that memory [;)]0 -

I agree with you about the metric system, but NASA does have a better reason than most for pushing the metric system. Years ago they bought something, I don?t remember what it was, and didn?t specify metric or imperial system. The manufacturer used imperial system. It cost NASA unreasonable bucks to recover. NASA has been a metric only outfit only ever since.0 -
