Today, on the moon

Back in 1969, on this date, Neil Armstrong was the first human to walk on the moon.  Do you remember where you were?  I do.

I was at summer camp, in a tent, listening to a transistor radio and hearing Mission Control give instructions to Armstrong as he stepped down the ladder to place that foot print in the dust.  What seemed like hours, was probably only 15 minutes to a teenager. 

Coincidentally, it is also Sir Edmund Hillary's birthday.

To all the explorers out there, I dedicate this blog!
