It was 40 years ago today and Richard Nixon was president. The vision of President John F. Kennedy had come true: Man had landed on the moon!Today I am wearing a patriotic shirt and my astronaut earrings that I bought at NASA in Houston in the early 90s.
I remember we had just come back from Lake Muskoka in Ontario and we watched the landing on TV. I think all of us remember what we were doing when Neil Armstrong spoke those words:
"One small step for man; One giant leap for mankind!"
. . . and we have never turned back. It just seems natural to us and to younger people, it was just always factual that Captain Kirk was real!
