July 17, 2025Jul 17 Moderator I was 18 and remember it well. Just a pity JFK didn’t live to see his dream realised. The commentator also added to the drama. Iconic commentary. 👏 Notice too the effects around the rocket at the end of the video as it went supersonic. Straight up! 😳 Ray (Cheshire, England).

July 17, 2025Jul 17 I remember it vividly. I had just turned 14 yrs old the day before. If I remember correctly, they were originally scheduled to land on the moon July 19th but pushed the launch back a day. It would have been a nice birthday present, but oh well. We were all terrified the LEM would run out of fuel before it landed. But what an amazing joyful experience. Etched in my memory forever! Tom MAKA = Make America Kind Again

I had to Google Alice Kramden....🤔 On a slightly more serious note (and I'm a Brit) surely the greatest moment in American history was when some geezer whipped out that bit of paper with the words 'We the people...' written on it?

Actually, the greatest moment in American history does involve Apollo, but not 11. It was Apollo 14 in 1971. They played golf on the moon ⛳️🏌️ It wasn’t quite as eloquent as “One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.” It was “Let’s see how far I can drive this sucker!” Edited July 18, 2025Jul 18 by Mike A Add text
July 18, 2025Jul 18 And then there was Apollo 15, the Crowning Glory of American car culture: Wonder what will happen if the Chinese make it to the moon? Spoiler
July 18, 2025Jul 18 I was 11. Watched it on TV with my parents. It was the later missions when they filmed, remotely, the ascent module takeoff that gives me the shivers.
