I'm Gen Y (pretty sure..LOL) and I was not even a twinkle in the eye of my father when all this went down. I however believe that it is one of human kinds greatest achievements. What I want to know is how come in the 40 years since, is there no moon base alpha or neo tokyo on the moon? i think its time to get this done so we have somewhere to launch from for asteroid mining and further manned missions of the solar system...
Who let the cat out. Yeah... Right. Well if that's all you can do its not really funny.
As one who watched the first landing live - and Armstrong's first steps - it's still offensive. The world was a very different place - no conspiracy theorists, for starters.
In some ways I hold StarWars and all that followed fro Hollywood (Hollowood IMHO) as largely responsible for destroying the reality of this achievement. Gen X/Y/Z think it is easy, that it is trivial, and have no idea of the magnitude of NASA's achievement in that era. To have watched it live is still a rare privilege and anyone poking fun at it is merely displaying grotesque ignorance and disrespect.
WOW What side of the bed did you get out off
