The whole Mercury, Gemini and Apollo era is inspiring. I was too young to remember the 1st landing, but as a kid and seeing footages of the latter Apollo missions always fascinated me.
I've lost count how many times I've seen From Earth to the Moon.
The thing that I find amazing is the relatively short time span it took man to get to the moon, the technology that had to be invented, the materials, new methodologies - unbelieveable stuff. I sometimes wonder how much time could have been reduced if they were given a couple of dual core notebooks......
and just think we can't even get a 2nd airport built in Sydney
