I’m old. When I was a kid, I liked watching space adventure shows on TV: Flash Gordon, Men Into Space, and others. Even as a kid, I understood those shows were fantasies.
If something seemed to be impossible, people used to say, “You could no more do that than fly to the moon.”
Thirty-five years ago today, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed on the moon. The old language for impossible things had to be retired.
Lots of photos from the Apollo missions here. For full immersion, Fox Home Video and a company called Spacecraft Films have released DVD sets featuring all the video and onboard motion picture film from Apollo 8, 11, and 15.
