18-20 July 19

'Tis the season to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the first humans landing on the surface of the Earth's single moon, on 20 July 1969. I was almost-16, and I watched the grainy videos from Apollo 11 on a TV in Gananoque, Ontario, while touring with a Youth For Christ high school singing group called The Eastsiders. I highly recommend watching the PBS American Experience series "Chasing the Moon" to gain historical perspective on the many figures and forces in the 1961-1969 era.
