One Small Step - RIP Neil Armstrong



Just heard on the news - Neil Armstrong - first man on the moon died today aged 82. I can remember staying up all night watching him on our old black and white telly. Wasn't that just amazing and isn't it mind blowing how technology has moved on since then. It's a privilege to be born in this era to witness it all. May he rest in peace.

    I hadn't heard that - haven't heard the news yet today. Yes, such a lot has happened in our lifetime.

    One of my favourite memories of time with my Dad Molly watching on our black and white telly. An amazing time in our lives for sure. RIP.

    Hadn't heard. I moved the ironing board into the living room in front of our black and white to watch. RIP.

    I used to love watching all the landing on the moon and the subsequent re-entry to earth. Remember watching for that little spot in the sky which would eventually splash into the ocean? It was an exciting time.
