Apollo 11 – Liftoff

Today was the day, 40 years ago, that Apollo 11 was launched on it’s journey to the moon.  I remember the major events of the Apollo program as if it were yesterday.  Just for the record, I was still just a wee lad when the launch took place but I was already fixated on being the first man to land on Mars.  I might be over the hill (and the age limits) but seeing as how we have not yet made the trip I guess I still have a shot at that goal.

Hey NASA – where is that astronaut application package again??  I may need that.

Stay tuned, I will be posting on Apollo 11 more as we come up to the anniversary of the moon landing.
