Hey, Alan! I included this post in Last Week's Favorites. Have a great week!
Alan, he will be missed and I do remember. Very sad indeed.
Alan - the one point that sticks out in my mind (apart from the courage, heroic efforts he and all of the other astronauts have put forth on our behalf) that "Tang" didn't do them any harm! They are all living/lived to a ripe old age.. What ever happened to that drink?
Alan...
I was saddened by this tragic news. If there was one person I would have loved to share a conversation with, it would have been Neil Armstrong.
He will indeed be missed. And there are generations of kids who wanted to become astronauts because of his amazing accomplishments.
What a nice tribute Alan. I do remember watching that epic moment and the wonderful awe-inspiring feeling he left on me as well as generations to come.
Hi Alan - Neil Armstrong gave us one of those special moments where we'll always remember exactly where we were and what we were doing when it happened - an amazing accomplishment for him, NASA, the US and all humanity. And I'm still hoping it was the beginning of an even greater era.
I remember seeing this as a 6-year old little kid. The neighbors said it was faked and I didn't really understand. The neighbors ended up leaving in the middle of the night a few months later. They were fake, and ran out on their rent. I remember that too! ;-)
Melissa - impressive, wasn't he?
Patricia - why thank you ma'am!
Andrea - I didn't realize that he was that old, and that it'd been quite that long ago.
Gay - do you remember all those "Tang, the drink of astronauts" commercials?
Richard - wouldn't that have been an interesting afternoon.
Kathryn - he inspired many.
Roberta - I remember as well... I was ... er.... uh.... maybe three... yeah, that's it... three!
Dick - one day, we'll pick up the gauntlet again.
Carla - I love the "it didn't happen" group... so funny.
He was featured on "Sunday Morning" today - indeed an American hero in the truest sense. He was intensely private and never flew in space again after the moon landing. But he could fly anything and had several close calls. He chose to retire to Ohio and teach engineering at the University of Cinncinati for the remainder of his life.
Alan:
It is a sad thing to lose an iconic hero. The fact that he was not often in the limelight made him all the more important to us. As you say, he will be missed.
Thanks for sharing the news, Alan.
He sure will be missed.
Like you, I was glued to the television for that magical moment. My dad worked at NASA on the lunar project, and the whole family was beaming, and so proud. It was a great moment. Sad to lose this American hero.
Margaret - I missed that. I didn't realize that he didn't go into space again.
Evelyn - it truly is.
Tatyana - you're welcome.
Rose - that must have been very exciting to have been directly involved.
Alan, he was certainly a pioneer, but my favorite astronaut was Alan Sheppard. He was the one that hit the golf balls on the moon and was also the second space traveler, behind Yuri Gagarin
I'm glad Pat's Favs brought your post to my attention. I remember the moon landing and watching TV in Portland OR while traveling around the country during my college years. We've lost a humble hero.
I think we all remember where we were and what we were doing when the moon landing happened. I was in a station wagon with mom, dad and two brothers, on the way to Cape May, New Jersey for vacation. Dad had the radio on and I remember him stopping the car and us listening when that moment happened!
Ed - hmmm... never thought about a "favourite" astronaut.
Lloyd - we sure have.
Debbie - very cool.
Alan~ He will never be forgotten.
Donna - one would hope not.
