Recalling The Moon Landing 54 Years Ago Today

Fifty-four years ago today, three astronauts Neil Armstrong, Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin and Michael Collins were aboard the spacecraft Apollo 11, as it landed on the moon.

First Armstrong and then Aldrin walked on the moon’s surface while Collins, as noted on the NBC Television broadcast then and viewed by me days back,, stayed in the capsule and unlike say 60 million people, did not see the historic events of the day.

Of course, Collins, who was born in Rome and died in Naples (Florida that is) was a big part of those events.

Both Armstrong and Collins are deceased, while a half year ago, on his 93rd birthday (Karen also had a birthday. She was born on the day President Kennedy, who set the “land on the moon” goal was inaugurated and let’s hope brother Bill gets better, a wish for all of us!) Aldrin married for the fourth time.

I went “Cronkite” “copy/pasting,” in peace.
