Both my children (17 and 19) have an appreciation for rocketry and space exploration, fortunately, but a lot of their contemporaries don't, sadly.legatus hedliushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17078980742683576345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4167684119478977136.post-10982823104688732562014-07-18T14:49:55.344+01:002014-07-18T14:49:55.344+01:00I fully agree - as a late-50-something, I can say ...I fully agree - as a late-50-something, I can say without hesitation that the Apollo 11 mission was the greatest event of my lifetime (so far!). Whilst serving in a small Brit contingent in a US military base in the Middle East in 2010 I was very fortunate to attend a forum of "Aviation Heroes" that were touring US bases to support the troops. This included Neil Armstrong and Gene Cernan. Armstrong's voice was very weak and he appeared unwell. He tended to avoid talking about the moon landing - he mainly talked about his time as a Naval aviator and test pilot. He came across as a very modest, self- effacing man and it was a huge privilege to be in the presence of a genuine Hero.Jeremy Ramseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12250118143994161913noreply@blogger.com
