I was in a hippie house on Webster Avenue, just off of Telegraph Avenue in Berkeley, California, watching avidly on a B&W TV. I never imagined that we would stop manned missions to the moon and beyond for such a long time.
Here is a book about it:
The First Men on the Moon: The Story of Apollo 11

I dont’ know if you read FrnakJ of IMAO, but he got off a great one today.
it does seem wrong that only white men have been on the moon and played golf. It?s the last exclusive country club. So basically our sluggish pace of space exploration is racist.
That’s darn funny, at least partially because I bet you could get Al Sharpton worked up over that fact.
I can’t do HTML links without a button to do it for me, it’s probably the 2nd or 3rd post on the page today “Random Thoughts”.
