Happy Neil's Day, Everyone!

I still recall his historic moon landing. I was in basic training at Ft. Gordon, GA at the time. My company was given the day off to watch the event on TV.

I don’t recall the event (it happened before I was born), but I’ve always felt it should be commemorated. Boru

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
I once heard a kid say that the first man on the moon was Neil Armstrong. The second was Buzz Lightyear.....
I had a friend who was staying in a hotel in America, he walked out of his room and bumped into a guy walking down the corridor, turned out to be a Mr N. Armstrong.
He later told me he had never set foot on the Moon, but his foot had been stepped on by the foot that spepped on the Moon!
The meek shall inherit the Earth, the rest of us will fly to the stars.
Never underestimate the power of very stupid people in large groups Arguing with an engineer is like wrestling with a pig in mud ..... after a while you realise that the pig likes it!
Buzz sells his moon jacket for $2.7
Quote:The in-flight coverall jacket features the historic Apollo 11 mission emblem and "E. Aldrin" for his full first name, Edwin. It is made of a fireproof, tightly woven silica fiber called Beta Cloth used in the production of Apollo spaceflight suits.
