i think most of us in here are old F A R T S and remember what we were doing on that July afternoon of the moon landing 50 years ago !

at lunchtime at school in 5th Form (year 11 as a 17yo), about 8 of us snuck out the school gates and went up to 'Spider' Curtis's home just up the street from the school to watch the live landing on his tv. No one at home as both "Spider's" parents were at work. Spider turned on the tv and we watched it in awe, while devouring chocolate ice cream covered with malt, AND he had the Beatle's Sargent Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album playing ! And as Armstrong took that small step for man, another single - Back In The USSR - went down very well ......with the volume blowing the roof off the house
i'll never forget that afternoon. The 8 of us never went back to school for afternoon classes on that July afternoon HA
The 50th anniversary rolls around here Australian east coast time at precisely 12:56pm this coming sunday the 21st July ! what an achievement way back then !
