Fifty three years ago today...Neil Armstrong became the first human to walk on the moon. How many were sitting in front of the TV watching???

Most of us were kids back then and glued to the TV because our parents were. At the time, I didn't realize just how big a deal it was!

I was 4 and have no idea what I was doing, I don't remember watching it until later in life.

The event that sticks out the most in my memory was watching the space shuttle explode on lift off.

Nice of them to do it on my birthday . I was in my 20's at the time and followed the whole thing -- often on the radio. Just plain scared that something would happen and they would fail.

They credit Kennedy and he certainly started it off, but it was amazing that the program kept going with Vietnam and everything else going on back then.

Whatever happened to Tang?
