I was five years old that day and watched the events of that week on TV with my Mom in Long Beach CA. My Dad (21 years USN) was at sea, deployed on his CVA on Yankee Station in the South China Sea. It all seem like last week to me not 40 years ago. How outstanding it all was and still is. I also recall with great emotion what I thought at that time as well as latter on watching on TV the subsequent Apollo missions with my family. That some day I could be a part of this. It was so motivating! What we could do as a county as a people. It was not the Sifi of Star Trek but real. Real man like my Dad. It was and is a most special time and place. We must go back to the Moon and on to Mars. Pick up where we got off course. I estimate it is our destiny to do these things but so much time and money has been lost. Lets get going! If not us then who? If not now then when? The world wonders.
