On the evening of July 20, 1969, I stood outside staring at the heavens as the three bravest men in the world did what was thought to be impossible. With less computer power than in our smart phones, two of them landed on the moon while the third orbited that celestial body and waited for his teammates’ return.
Even if the technology existed in those days, it’s doubtful that these three people would have boasted about their accomplishment in 140-character soliloquies. Such is the measure of true heroes.
Thank you, Neil, rest in peace; thank you Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins and the NASA crew for showing the world that America really is the greatest place on earth. Even if you had to go to the moon to prove it.
