    Why people keep promoting this moon landing conspiracy is totally beyond me. The only thing that’s fake is Kim Kardashian’s backside.

  2. Neil Armstrong becomes first man to walk on the Moon at 02:56 UTC (10:56PM EDT) July 21, 1969.

    I was at Camp Durant the week of Apollo 11 in 1969. The Boy Scout Camp had no TVs or radios. I had decided to smuggle my 13" Motorola Cadet B&W to camp that year.

    The camp infirmary was manned by medics from Ft. Bragg. They were absolutely willing to host my TV. I think Taps blew at 10:00 but by the time the LM was decompressed and the hatch was about to open you couldn't fit one more boy in the room.

    Imagine a 13" B&W TV sitting on a milk crate on the floor and it providing the only source of light in the room. The monochrome glow illuminating every face as we witnessed a human step on the lunar soil and make that historic quote from the small 2 inch speaker. The image transmitted that evening was a negative of what we see now. I recall the network voice explaining that the feed from NASA was inverted. It mattered not to these viewers. It did not fail to make an impression.

    We sat there for the 2 and a half hours of External Vehicle Activity by two earthlings on the surface of the Moon. Simply an overwhelming experience.

    As we walked back to our campsite with the trail made visible by the light of the Moon above. We talked about the future. The future of humanity and our nations role in the world.

  4. Here are some fun pics - for my 40th birthday in 2021 we escaped to Glasgow for a long weekend (in between lockdowns). My wife had booked a hotel in the city centre as a surprise. When we arrived we found several streets shut down, and entirely redressed as 1969 Manhattan for the filming of the latest Indiana Jones movie 🍿

    I wonder if @thisismyglasgow might recognise a few buildings 🤔
