Hi Glenn, we could probably bang on about the space program for days. It's a favorite topic of mine.
Just to set the records straight, I don't think I've answered that question ""where were you when Neil walked on the moon?".. umm, propped up in front of the ol' Pye black and white only 12 days old. I cannot quite remember it.
I have read First Man and listened to the Audio Book several times, and for the first time I think I like the audio book better than the paper version. I love the reading and the emotion of it.
More interesting trivia, which I'm sure some of you know...
1. Buzz is the first human to take a pee on the Moon. As he is descending down the ladder he pauses before stepping onto the surface "does an Alan Shepard" LOL pees in his suit. Even Buzz admits to it in In the Shadow of the Moon doco, in a slight grin!
The CapCom was Bruce McCandless for Neil's EVA out of the LM. His famous quotes you all would have heard (especially if you have at least watched The Dish. "Ok Neil we can see you coming down the ladder...". What was Bruce famous for? Clue? I remember the Herald Sun Headline on the (I think) front page the next day "Look Mum, no hands!"
