..and wondering where Neil Armstrong put his feet!

It seems incredible to think that fifty one years ago, before my Dad was even ten years old, men landed on the moon!

It could only be done through the mathematical certainties of the universe, calculations were made and economies met and two men set foot on the moon, in July 1969!

I watched it on TV, and it was amazing!

And you can pick out, roughly, where the landings occurred if you have a good set of binoculars:

The circled craters are "landmarks": if you can pick them out, you can "move" from there to a landing site. But I just look for the Sea of Tranquility and look at the south western edge.

@helenS My groups sometimes embarrass me. They change according to the day on which I browse SW.

@Slymbo No need to feel embarrassed. You are an open-minded man (which is a very attractive thing), that's all.

@helenS That is very sweet 💓

And there's probably more computing power in your modern day watch than sent Apollo 11 to the moon !

Several other astronauts did it after that, too.

you have a young father. I am of the age in which we all talk about remembering where we were when certain things happen, man stepping onto the service of the moon is one.
