40th anniversary of the moonlanding in 1969
Its hard to believe that is already the 40th anniversary of the first moon landing on July 20th 1969.
I was just 13 and I remember it vividly. Back then the rockets took of and everyone stopped whatever they were doing and were memorized by all the space mission launches.
And amazingly there were 6 missions that landed on the moon leaving behind the lunar modules and a few moon vehicles, flags and other things. One astronaut even hit a golf ball from the moon and put it into space.
