What do Neil Armstrong and Michael Jackson...

[RICHARD]

TIME magazine's cover story this week is about the 24 men who have walked on the surface of the moon. Fascinating!!

I found these 2 paragraphs to be very interesting -

Years ago I spied a small article in the paper that crushed me.

Neil Armstrong had an accident that took off a part of his finger. He was in a barn working when it happened. I was so stunned that someone who had gone to the moon could fall victim to such an earthly misfortune.

My heroes never stumble.

I was seven and we weren't big TV watchers. My mom made dinner early and we made a point of sitting in front of the tv (in my parents bedroom) and watching the landing. My dad was a scientist at a lab and I was amazed that he was dumbstruck by this! He was the sort you couldn't ask why a penny was copper without a 40 minute disertation on Roman times etc!
I saw a fantastic video on Huffpost today that shows Buzz CLOCKING a nut job that got in his face about the lunar landing being a hoax. Classic! Love Buzz all the more! I'd have clocked him too.

Your dad was a Scientist and really understood the complexity of what these men were doing. I worked on a very small piece of the overall effort and I was dumbstruck at what they accomplished. It took someone like your dad to truly appreciate and understand the significants of that day.
