The Moon Landing 1969

      I was not born in the late 60's so I was not blessed with not knowing two great American Hero's setting foot on the moon for the first time almost 43 years ago. I bet to some people, seeing the moon landing was one of the most wonderful things anyone has ever seen in their lives.

  Sadly, yesterday, we lost one of the greats. Neil Armstrong had passed away from a heart surgery. He, along with Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins (although he was never mentioned much), were on Apollo 11 to the Moon on July 28th 1969. My cousin was only a month old when this was happening and believe me, this was one happy memory for him. 

  Everyone was glued to their TV's, radios, wanting to hear every little detail on what was happening on Apollo 11. Also when Neil Armstrong setting foot on that moon and quoting: "That's one small step for a man, One giant leap for Mankind" 

 That one simple quote changed on how feel differently about the Moon. For years many kids wanting to be astronauts wanted to venture to the moon, seeing what it's like to set foot on that moon. Neil experienced that, he knew what it's like. He wants other to do the same. For kids, they just wanted to be an astronaut, wanting to set foot on the moon,(some kids thought the moon was made of cheese).
  
  He was the first, Buzz was the second. Many other Astronauts want to follow in Neil Armstrong's footsteps. Some people feel that the moon landing was a fake. For those people, they should check their research before spreading rumors like that. Because the moon landing is 100% real. 

 I wasn't there when it happened, but believe me if I was, I would be in tears like Walter Cronkite was when he was giving the news 43 years ago after hearing Neil Armstrong's speech. 

 Now Neil Armstrong can travel though the stars as he reaches the heavens and we will all miss him and the ironic thing is, he didn't really like being called a hero. Ciao Bloggers! "THAT'S ONE SMALL STEP FOR A MAN, ONE GIANT LEAP FOR MANKIND."- Neil Armstrong (1930-2012)
