45 Years Ago

The launch of Apollo 11.


Step back 45 years from that day, to 1924, you'll find that Charles Lindbergh was in military pilot training. Lindbergh was still alive when Apollo 11 flew, he wrote the forward for Michael Collin's book "Carrying the Fire", which is about as much a "must-read" as anything else ever written about the American manned space program.

45 years ago I was 18 years old, living in Columbus Ohio, working at the Ohio State University Hospital making $2.25 an hour. I watched the moon landing on the TV at the student union.

My grandmother was alive before Gustav Weisskopf flew. And was still alive for the moon landing. What progress within one lifetime!
