On July 21, 1969, with the Apollo 11 Spaceflight, Neil Armstrong was the 1st human to step on the Moon! Buzz Aldrin joined him 20 minutes later & they spent 2 1/4th hours gathering 47.5 pounds of lunar material for return to Earth. Pilot Michael Collins stayed in lunar orbit until they returned to the ship. July 24th was splashdown at 819 miles SW of Hawaii. As Neil Armstrong took his 1st step onto the surface of the Moon, he said "1 small step by a man; 1 giant leap for mankind."
I was fortunate to see the live TV broadcast of the First Man On The Moon & it had tremendous impact on me, starting a lifelong love of space & the Moon.

I was in a whiteout & it was freaky to not be able to see even an inch in front of my face! I couldn't even see the ground or my boots!

Bill. W. (Wilson) & Dr. Bob (Smith) founded AA in 1935 in Akron, Ohio. In 2001, there were an estimated Over 2 Million members in 108,000 groups meeting in approximately 150 countries around the World! AA has helped So Very Many people & if you're having a layover at an airport or bus station, you can have them page "Friends of Bill W." so you'll have another recovering alcoholic to talk with! Sane for NA, which sprang from AA, just page "Friends of Jimmy K.". Most people there won't know what you're talking about.
