I remember it well. I was 7 and that was the latest I had ever stayed up
when not getting home from a trip. I watched every moment of the EVA and
never even started nodding off. In fact I'd bet Armstrong was asleep after
the walk before I was. I thought it was the coolest thing ever to happen.

Looking back... I was right.

Amen, brother.

We can only hope that the current push for Mars can keep momentum. I sense
that it's already slipping into the "whatever" category amongst the
political class.

I'm afraid real space exploration will have to await other people with more
balls than we Americans have left.
