Apollo 11 lifted off from the JFK space centre in Florida on it's way to put the first man on the moon.....One small step....!

I remember it well , my son was nearly one years old and we watched the black and white footage

[ToraToraTora]

I also watched when he actually stepped onto the moon, at the time we didn't know the immortal words....

[Arksided]

Three years before my time on this planet so missed it, but I do believe Nasa intends to return there sometime soon.

[Bobbisox1]

Yes, very historic, like seeing Martin Luther Kings speech ‘ I have a Dream’

[ToraToraTora]

....and we still had £sd!

[Bobbisox1]

certifiable hackneyed and clishayed

[Bobbisox1]

Pp, do you just pluck words out of thin air and hope they make sense?

I was on the SS Duquessa heading to Brazil.

I had my wrist slapped a few weeks ago, I started to think it's just me.

I remember Kevin Keegans speech back in 96' about SAF now that was funny.

The last episode of Star Trek aired on 3rd June.

I'm not sure I can recall the launch, but I certainly recall the landing vividly. About 2am, if memory serves. We had no idea at the time just how close they came to disaster! Nixon even had a speech prepared in the event that they didn't make it home.
