Stunning. Awesome. Cool. Wow.
40 years ago I was a 10 year old sitting in front of a black and white television marvelling at the sights from a quarter million miles away.
Here's a salute to everyone involved: the engineers who designed everything, the little old ladies* who knitted the computer memory, the women who hand-sewed the spacesuits, the thousands of people who put all the pieces together, the ones who gave their lives, the ones with the vision, John Kennedy, the ones who went there first and only watched the Lunar surface in passing - and the Command Module pilots who all did that and the two who set foot on the moon for the first time 40 years ago today.
40 years later and I still say, wow.
*Historical reference.
