Dare you ask. I was born the morning before the actual landing on July 20, 1969 in Bourne, MA. I'm 41 years of age, and proud to say that I was born on such a very historical day.

The manned space program is so exciting and the moon walks and as you say the mars Lander even were very thrilling. I hope the governemt keeps funding these programs though I understand there is apt to be about a five year lull after 2010 so who knows what will happen. Looks like we will be hitchhiking with the Russians after the shuttles are decommissioned next year. Thanks for the comment. Joe, nicely put.

But I do remember using 8 inch floppies in an Apple II and tape storage on a Commodore PET computer! My own "Apollo moment" was about 28 years after the moon landing, oddly enough, with the Mars Pathfinder mission. Watching on TV as the images came back from that tiny rover on such an alien planet was an amazing moment. For all of its human participation for some reason the Space Shuttle program just never gripped me the same way. I only hope I'm around when humans put their first bootprints on Mars.
