My Answers?
1: Where were you when men landed on the moon? The house on the farm, my parents bought a color television that summer for the moon landing - that was mostly in shades of grey.
2: Have you seen a rocket launch? Many of them, including the last Apollo program launches and many of the early shuttle launches.
3: Have you met an astronaut? I am told I did, at the Grand Canyon when I was about 5 years old, I remember being very shy.
4: How do you feel about humans returning to the moon? It is the stepping stone to exploring beyond our planet, we should have done it decades ago.
5: Do you think we really understand what is out there? I think there is far more speculation, than true understanding.
Please share your answers in the comments.
Where were you when men landed on the moon? Not even a thought yet.
ReplyDeleteHave you seen a rocket launch? No
Have you met an astronaut? No
How do you feel about humans returning to the moon? Not much.
Do you think we really understand what is out there? Hell no. We don't even understand this plant yet!
the next question would be, why should we look out there, before we fully understand here?
Delete1. Watching the landing on a school tv.
ReplyDelete2. Only on tv, and I only take notice if they go wrong.
3. No.
4. Our history on this planet hasn't been great. I don't think we should be interfering with any other heavenly bodies.
5. I asked my father where does space end? He replied it doesn't. I still find that hard to accept. So, I don't think there is full understanding.
And when it ends, what lies beyond?
Delete1. On Venus. The invitations got mixed up.
ReplyDelete2. No, but I've seen a product launch.
3. Does My Favorite Martian count?
4. You mean like swallows and Capistrano?
5. Elon Musk does. He put most of it there.
And every day, a few little starlinks burn up on reentry.
Delete1: Where were you when men landed on the moon? In my childhood home in the middle of The East Riding of Yorkshire.
ReplyDelete2: Have you seen a rocket launch? Yes. I have seen many. Nearly every Bonfire Night (November 5th)
3: Have you met an astronaut? Only my granddaughter's plastic Buzz Lightyear.
4: How do you feel about humans returning to the moon? A dreadful waste of money. Better to address matters here on Earth.
5: Do you think we really understand what is out there? Yes. There's absolutely nothing.
I remember being glued to the Television, and later that night a first of being allowed to stay up past midnight as they walked on the moon.
Delete1: Where were you when men landed on the moon? In Brooklyn.
ReplyDelete2: Have you seen a rocket launch? Not in person, no.
3: Have you met an astronaut? I’ve met many aliens but no astronauts.
4: How do you feel about humans returning to the moon? I worry they’re start mining.
5: Do you think we really understand what is out there? Not really.
Moon rocks are valuable.
DeleteBrooklyn / moon... no big diff, I'm outta here...
Delete1. Sylvania, OH. I was 5.
ReplyDelete2. Saw a SpaceX launch in 2017. Was supposed to see a shuttle launch in 2002, but the mission was scrubbed. Sat for hours waiting for it to go.
3. No.
4. I'm beginning to wonder if we were there before. Technology a billion times better, and we can barely launch, let alone land. It seems odd to me. But I don't see the need to go again.
5. I really really don't.
Rest assured we were there. I met some of the people who worked on Apollo, they did extraordinary things, with what they had to work with.
Delete1: Where were you when men landed on the moon? Probably in my parents living room as they watched.
ReplyDelete2: Have you seen a rocket launch? Not in person but several on TV.
3: Have you met an astronaut? Nope.
4: How do you feel about humans returning to the moon? If it's the starting place to go further why not?
5: Do you think we really understand what is out there? They don't understand us either.
Earth, no intelligent life forms found?

The engineering that flowed from manned space flight, has changed the world

ReplyDelete2. Never seen a rocket launch.
3. Never met an astronaut.

There are still places untouched on earth.

Many of us watched on TV.

ReplyDelete2: Have you seen a rocket launch? Yes.
3: Have you met an astronaut? Yes. In 2003, Dayton put on the Centennial of Flight. Neil Armstrong and John Glenn were both in attendance and I got to meet both of them.
4: How do you feel about humans returning to the moon? Space exploration is the next frontier. The moon is a good place to start. Just don't want humans to destroy a pristine environment.
5: Do you think we really understand what is out there? No.
