Happy Anniversary, Apollo 11 :-)
Doesn't seem like 52 years since I sat on the living room floor as a little boy in Fowler's Mill and watched the astonishing sight of American astronauts bouncing around on the surface of Earth's moon. Where were you when it happened?
Wearing my Speedmaster Pro to celebrate the occasion, and I hope you are, too! |

I was in my mother's belly. Born later that year but technically "alive" for the moon landing. Must have been amazing to be watching that live.

I was a kid back then, but remember sitting in front of the TV with my sister and parents watching. Amazed and wide eyed. Had to have "Tang" to drink after that.

I was approximately -18 years old when that amazing event took place, so I missed seeing it by a smidge. I still love my Speedmasters though!
