Scary.

A very proud moment indeed, not only for the USA, but the entire human race. A testament to what humans can do if they can quit fighting long enough. and work together, Sadly though, at that moment in time 50 years ago, I was stationed in a faraway place called Phu Loi, Vietnam, making daily flights, on a H Model Huey, with a M60 pinned between my legs, and dangling out of the door saying "clear left" to the pilot. Did not even know of the Apollo 11 launch until I was back in-country. Loved the video!!!

daniel, thank you for your bravery. The additional element that I never considered was that, before out 21st century communications, deployed military missed all that was happening in the rest of the world.

Very moving video, @ Splinter. At that time in history, Americans could justifiably be proud of their country and inspired by its leadership.

Let's face it although it was a fantastic achievement the US only done it to beat the Russians.

The competition didn’t in any way diminish the achievement, did it?

Of course not Rice I did say it was a ''fantastic achievement''.

Quote from Splinter

That must have been pretty scary

Did not have time to be scared, just did my job.
