Most of probably weren't even alive when it happened. When we truly did reach the(then) final frontier. At 2:56AM GMT on Sunday July 20, 1969, man first stepped on the surface of the moon. It was one of mankind's greatest achievements. The Apollo 11 Mission fulfilled the late John F. Kennedy's goal to put a man on the moon before 1970. We made five more lunar landings, the last being in 1972. But the achievement of Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins is the one that will remember for generations to come. My mother was only 25 years old when it happened and this afternoon we were watching the landings replayed on CNN and she talked about how she remembering seeing it as it happened. It proved that despite our many flaws, we can achieve greatness as long as we believe.

More about it from NBC affiliate WESH in Orlando:

I heard yesterday (jul 24) in the news that the US goverment is going to cut money destined to the NASA, due to its poor results in those 40 years and expensive cost.

I somehow agree. Those guys need a shake to wake up again.

In those times, when the espacial race was hot because of the US-Soviet competition to win the moon the NASA had its golden years. I'm not sure what happened to cool down that entusiasm, maybe the Cold War nuclear weapons, and Corea and Vietnam got everyone's attention, but the NASA was supposed continue independently in its way to get beyond the moon.

Instead of that, they built four or five space shuttles that are expensive, dangerous and that didn't go very far from our atmosphere.

The Apollo 11 reached the moon in a time when computers barely added. Most calculations where made with rules and algoritmin tables. That was a great demostration of what Humanity could achieve. That should have been the ultimate proof that Humans could make things like the piramids and Stonehege without alien help.

But if the NASA had continued whit its original entusiasm, Humanity would have been in Titan today with bases in the moon and Mars.

it was ten years too soon for me but my mom talked about how she was gathered around the small tv, watching and waiting, excited about the whole thing, for the longest most thought it was a hoax, to this day some probably still do, I believe we'll venture to the moon again, but for now they seem to enjoy hovering the world and repairing space stations than worried about going to the moon again -_-

Amen to that. The Shuttle was an important piece of technology though.

you know...I don't know if we will go or not (tough I am 99.9999% sure that yes, there will be other expeditions to the moon) but I think that with all that money we can make many other things. I mean, sure, go to the spaceis amazing, you can discover many things and all, but... it is really worth it? I would rather make that things here in the Earth be all good (or best, at least), before going to other planets...

Heh... I won't get started with the theory of conspiracy and how there is plenty of evidence that man never set foot on the moon. But I'll say that I find it strange how with this incredibly advanced technology, a moon expedition using humans, not robots, hasn't been made.
How come the technology 40 years ago was enough to take man to the 'moon', but this one mysteriously fails?
I don't think man will ever go on the moon.

Humans hide behind the curtain they knitted, and stay there for ages.
I'll never be one of them.
