1969 Man on the moon

I was in our dining room, watching TV from Houston listening to the live radio broadcast as the lunar module came in to land. 'Tranquility base here, the Eagle has landed.' Going out and looking at the moon - they're actually up there. Actually this is one that has grown in my imagination over the years. At the time, being a teenager and growing up on science fiction, it was wonderful but to be expected. Now older and wiser (?)knowing how little they did it with, how difficult it actually was, and thinking of the same feat being attempted today! - it seems almost more impossible now than it did then.
