Personally I thinks it amazing. 3 men traveled 365,000 miles, landed on the moon and took off again and made it back to earth with computer technology that 3 year olds today would think laughable. You have to put it in historic context. We're not talking about driving to grandmas house for Sunday dinner.
Yeah, I remember that day well, I was in Vietnam back at the base Camp Eagle and they broadcast this live (?) over Armed Forces Radio and I thought WTF, here I am halfway around the world trying to kill/or not get killed by some guys that I don't even know or care about. Such is life and death.............chase
