On this historic day, NASA planetary scientists Alan Stern has an editorial at Space Review well worth reading:
But in my view, the greatest achievement of Apollo is something more important, something that took decades to be recognized, and which is only now coming into focus. As I see it, the greatest achievement of Apollo is the inspiration that Apollo’s bold, quickly-paced, and futuristic accomplishment generated in so many baby boomers, whose hearts were captured by the tsunami of new technologies Apollo generated and the sheer exuberance for invention that space exploration inspired.
Where where you and what are your thoughts on the days of Apollo 11 and Cronkite?
