Stars and Stripes on the Moon! And the Coronet was 2 months old. God Bless the USA and the Astronauts with the guts to do this.

GOD bless our country. Did we go to the moon or the Arizona desert?

 

[mopar 3 B]

Stars and Strips on the moon. Did we claim the moon as US territory?

 

[Darius]

I don't recall seeing or hearing we did claim the moon. I will bet, however, that had Russia or China beat us there THEY sure as hell would have!

The Science Channel is playing all kinds of shows on this today. Old interviews with astronauts about how things were done is very interesting.

I lived these days of the great space race!

And at the same time, in Chelsea, Michigan, these guys were lapping the high speed oval over 200 mph, shaking down the new Dodge Charger Daytona...

 

[Slap Stick]

Back when stock cars were stock cars!

Just think...those space gadgets were made by the lowest bidder...

 

[69BBody]

Those were the days.

Lowest bidder and designed with a slide rule and determination. The computer used on both the Columbia and Eagle were less powerful than a current cell phone.

A time when America was unstoppable. This is the 40th Anniv. website where you can listen to the entire mission from launch to splashdown. VERY moving! My mom was 5 months pregnant with me http://wechoosethemoon.org/

I watched it on a small B&W portable TV in a campground. I was 11 years old, and my family was traveling across the country from Colorado to Virginia at the time in a 1962 Chrysler station wagon. We had rented a space for the night somewhere in Kansas. This was earlier that same year, when my Dad graduated from CSU. I am the geeky lookin kid...

If we stuck a flag in it we claim it

WE were the bad asses in the space race...
NASA was the ****, "The Right Stuff"
we didn't need rides from the Russians or Chinese
we were the real leaders...
I remember it well, just a few (8) days after my 10th B-day...
I was glued to the TV, 19" black & white, all 3 channels...
Rare for me, I was never inside in the summer...
I so wanted to be an Astronaut as a kid...
They were, my early true heros, I was so proud to be an American...

All that money and technology to get to the moon, and Alan Shepherd finds time for a spot of golf up there.

That's great.

I remember seeing the moon landing on television, at my aunt and uncles house. They lived right next door to me. I still live there to this day. Those were cool times, Chargers Road Runners, and lots of other cool cars being built here in America, by Americans!
