I was just old enough to be able to stay up late enough to see his first steps on another celestrial body.
I was at work when the Challenger exploded, as well as on 911.
I was also at work when the very first shuttle landed back on earth.
It was a stunning moment in time when NASA had chosen the longest runway in the country to give the shuttle all the room it could need.
Then the shuttle landed and traveled about as far as a commercial airliner, shocking pretty much everyone. I laughed because the shuttle was at one end of the runway and everyone and everything else was at the other (where theyu presumed the shuttle would have come to a stop.

I was at home when the second shuttle disaster occurred.

So, basically, we all have selective memory when it comes to historic events. Thankfully they are truly HISTORIC events, that changed the world around us forever!

Neil Armstrong was part of one such event.
