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!
