Well I am going to post it then,not just me though,like he was planning to do.

I was 10 years old at that time, and fascinated by the thought of space travel,this to me was a non science fiction proof that we were headed for space.It was all I could talk about at the time.You could actually see it in the night sky.I was not upset as a lot of people were because of cold war scares at that time. I remember it like it was yesterday. Great post.
Interesting feature
“If you have an apple and I have an apple and we exchange apples then you and I will still each have one apple. But if you have an idea and I have an idea and we exchange these ideas, each of us will have two ideas.” — George Bernard Shaw
“He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me. That ideas should freely spread from one to another over the globe, for the moral and mutual instruction of man, and improvement of his condition, seems to have been peculiarly and benevolently designed by nature, when she made them, like fire, expansible over all space, without lessening their density in any point.” — Thomas Jefferson
