The Eagle Has Landed

50 years.  I think Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins are some of the bravest men that ever lived.

Agreed. With my fear of flying (and of heights) I really can't get my head round what they achieved.🙀👏🏻 Tributes of a different kind must also be paid to the 18 astronauts who lost their lives during 4 fatal missions.😕

We are watching Channel 4 Moon Landing Live.  I have never seen the close up film of the lift off before.  To use an American phrase, AWESOME!

Agreed, Martine. An amazing achievement. I hope I see a return in my lifetime. Perhaps the Chinese will get there next?

Well they have just shown the landing.  We found it quite emotional.  Never seen it in colour before.

Did your children enjoy watching it Martine?

Unfortunately, no!  I can’t get them to take an interest.  Terrible, I know, but I am sure this wonderful programme will get repeated lots of times and hopefully they will watch another time.I hadn’t realised that Armstrong and Aldrin were on a module on the moon and had to rejoin the orbiting spaceship that Michael Collins was in.  They are just so brave.
