Apollo 11, July 20, 1969

[learning]

It's been 35 years since three men landed on the moon.
Ok, who else walked on the moon besides Neil Armstrong?

[Solly]

Steve Austin?

Steve Austin?

Like, the 'rassler Steve Austin?!

Ok, stupid joke on my part...someone gong me.

[Solly]

Well, it was my stupid joke too...

Steve Austin...a man barely alive...we can rebuild him..we have the technology.

Edwin Aldrin and Mike Collins was on the ship I believe.

Now next time you wonder if what you are doing is important, remember, most of us can't remember the second guy who walked on the moon, one of the most important things that happened in our century. So, don't get worried if you are all important or not! ;0)

And no-one remembers the guy who cleaned up after them.

Yeah, but Edwin (Buzz) Aldrin got a G.I. Joe action figure made after him. ( And don't call it a doll, either :wink:)

Actually, I think only Armstrong and Aldrin actually descended to the Moon. Collins stayed on board the mothership (ha!) in orbit.

As for other people who walked on the moon, the only other name I remember is Alan Shepard who hit a golf ball. Heckuva drive.

I also have to say that my favorite part of the movie "Apollo 13" is when Tom Hanks is looking down at the Moon and imagines himself dragging his fingers through the moon dust. That's what I've wanted to do since I was a kid.

OK I'll stop now.

lol....no problemmo Solly. I was pretty young when the six mil man was on TV, but I am old enough to recall it.

Interesting philosophical point though; I wonder how far off we really are from building someone like that?

Wallace and Grommit have been on he moon

[learning]

Yes, I meant that Mike Collins stayed on the ship.

I know an elderly couple and this ladies husband's brother had part of his wife's lid of her pressure cooker pot on that ship that went to the moon! They were telling me yesterday. The lady was looking for this lid of her pressure cooker and she couldn't find it, and something in it fit just perfectly for something they needed on the ship to the moon so he used it. :) He bought her a new pressure cooker after. Quite creative those guys were.

By two my daughter knew she wanted to be an anstronaut. Even then she could tell you a Saturn V from a lunar lander, from a solid rocket booster to external fuel tank, name all her planets and tell you when she saw an old house that the "second law of thermodymamics" made the house look old.

Now she is seven and while still wants to be an astronaut, she has expanded her horizon. (An archer, rock climber, book writer, actress, missionary would do fine)

Wow, I can see why homeschooling works. I just have a hard time 'making' my kids do school stuff when school is out and they're used to someone else being 'the teacher'!

It's also hard on the parent--no break from the kids, which is a welcome aspect of school.

I had anticipated doing school over the summer with her (just her favorite subjects) but a good portion of her work is on the computer and guess who has been hogging up the computer to be on Tweb!

I'm half tempted to get her her own computer so that I don't have to share!

[learning]

LOL, that's why I'm thinking of getting off of tweb more too, cause it takes away time I wanted to be doing things with the kids, like reading, etc.

In addition to Commander Armstrong, there were Ed Aldrin, Jr.; Charles Conrad, Jr.; Alan Bean; Gene Cernan; Harrison Schmitt, Alan Shepherd (the old man of space who opened new vistas for golfers); Edgar Mitchell; Dave Scott; Jim Irwin; John Young; and Charles Duke, Jr.

I did..... and I was injured, and received three purple hairdoes for serving my country. :ripurple::ripurple::ripurple:

Just hope that none of those injuries were self inflicted--or some folks might question your right to those purple hairdos.....

Something like that could hurt one's Alumnus election chances! :lol:

We all know that the moon landing never happened! The government shot those photos in the New Mexican desert in order to elaborate the Space Race/ Cold War ploy in order to coverup the real competition for control of the world between the American Earth Government based in Area 51 and the envoys from Mars based in the Pyramids of Egypt!

[DanN1]

And yes (in case I scared some people) I am kidding.
