The Moon - 41 years ago, it was a big deal
July 20, 2010 by William K. Wolfrum
When Neil Armstrong took his first steps on the moon in 1969, I did not care. I was two, mind you. But 41 years ago, it was a really, really big deal. Bigger than iPad or Lady Gaga even, if you can imagine that.
Of course, some people still believe the moon landing was a hoax. To answer that claim, I present Buzz Aldrin, the second man on the moon:
-WKW
Thanks for the memories! It was indeed a big deal. I was a tad older than you at the time (31) and remember all of it vividly. I don’t, however, remember Buzz Aldrin’s comment………
Bigger than Lady Gaga? The hell, you say!
Well, I have been known to be hyperbolic.
That guy had been bugging Buzz for years. He worked hard & long to get that punch lol
One small punch for man, one bloody nose for a conspiracy quack.
41 years ago, I was sitting on a stoop (steps) in South Philly, with many others, watching a small tv hooked to an extension cord as we set foot on the moon. I’ll never forget it.
