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.

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.
