Wow...50 years...My dad was news director for KHOU, the CBS affiliate in Houston durning the moonshot days 67-70...I was about 3 and I got to meet Michael Collins, Ed Aldrin and Neil Armstrong...one of my earliest memories...Dad worked with Ed for about 2 weeks and he had dinner at our house...

That's a cool story Brocker!

Incredible to think how far things have progressed since then. And now with the hadron collider going through its paces, who knows what we'll be capable of in 50 years time.

Great pics and a great story. That's something to tell the kids, surely. I've got a signed pic of Storey Musgrave, who fixed the Hubble Telescope.
I didn't know the first shuttle flight was at night. Hmmm.

Oh yeah, rocco...You reminded me...Ed also gave my dad an autographed picture of him standing by the lunar module on the moon signed by him, Neil and Michael...I always felt kinda sorry for Collins, having to stay in the command module while Ed and Neil got to gallivant about the moon....

Man, what a cool picture that must be. That is really something. I felt sorry for Collins, too, but then again he's still famous for being in the first ship to the Moon.
