A third of the country thinks landing on the moon was fake news.

I can't imagine ANY accomplishment that would be universally applauded or unifying these days.

If someone came up with a universal cancer cure, there would be a bunch of folks that would find something to gripe about.

52 years ago - and I watched while at the local High's Ice Cream store, in Norfolk. They had a little black and white set there up in one corner of the ceiling.

I was 10 in my fam's family room in C'ville watching on a Magnavox b/w tv. And enthralled.

Working in a parking garage next to the morgue in Pittsburgh. Brought my portable black and white to watch.

The ascent module weighs about 5,000 lbs. on earth. Ascent fuel is 5,000 lbs. Astronauts, rocks, and other gear, like maybe 2,500 max? So 12,500 on earth equals 2067 lbs. on the moon.

The Bell Aerosystems ascent engine, weighing in at 180 lbs, generated 3,500 lbs of force.
