A great moment in time, and days later the first men walked on the moon. Where were you were at blast off? Me, University of Miami, right at the start of our accounting auditing class final, absolutely perfect timing, Prof Wiskman turned on his radio, and we listened to it. I wonder if any other professors thought of that. Wiskman was a good prof, the class was easy and the final not expected to be difficult, so we took our time absorbing that great historical moment, then proceeded with the exam. Thanks to a good and news-aware prof, we got to listen to the blast off. Most probably aced the exam.

America used to be able to do stuff.
The Saturn 5 is the most powerful machine ever made and the only one to take humans out of low earth orbit.
The SR-71 is still the fastest air breathing aircraft ever made.
