I'm sure some of you are old enough to remember the significance of this date 45 years ago. If not, here's a little reminder: YouTube link Here's another link to the story behind one of the most famous photos of the 20th century: YouTube link To paraphrase Frank Borman: Good Night, Good Luck, a Merry Christmas and God Bless all of us, all of us on the Good Earth! |

I saw that on TV. I was too young to understand, but somehow I remember it. I was at my grandparent's house for Christmas that year. Maybe that's why. |

I do indeed remember it, though I was only six at the time. We lived in Houston and I was about as big a space nut as you could possibly imagine. The Apollo program was a magic time in my life and I am so happy to have experienced it. |
