King for a lifetime, fool for a... lifetime...

Today is the 35 year anniversary of man's first steps on the moon. It's a feat that really speaks for itself. Undoubtedly the greatest achievement in our species' existence... at least until we find a cure for cancer. I don't really have too much more to say on it. Just wanted to point out again just how remarkable this is. Especially living in today's world of techno-gadget iPods, laptop computers, and so on and so forth. What did we have in '69? Only the most primitive (by today's standards) computers were at NASA's disposal. And yet, somehow, Apollo 11 was a smashing success; a giant leap for mankind.
