As is appropriate, a lot is being made of the 50th anniversary of the man’s first landing on the moon. I was just 10-year-old tyke at the time, but I have some pretty clear memories of that night and watching those grainy black and white photos of Neil Armstrong coming down that ladder and the hop down to the surface. It was an amazing time when we thought we could do anything.

First Man-A Movie Review

I accept it was a movie and not a mini-series, so I understand much was left out, but it does leave me wanting for more, and I hope someday, in the not too distant future, a more complete mini-series about Armstrong will be done.

Everyone is writing about where they were 40 years ago today when Armstrong and Aldrin first set foot on the moon, so I thought I should also chime in. It was certainly one of those defining moments. I was at White Lake, NC with family and friends.
