        I watched this with a man who had, as a child, seen the Wright bros. He sat enthralled, tears streaming down his cheeks. Unforgettable.

        1969 — Family summer trip. We were in Corvallis, Oregon. Many people huddled around a scratchy TV set in the OSU Student Union. 🌕

        Earthrise, Apollo 8, the most important photo ever taken.

        This particular one is from Apollo 11 (NASA ID#AS11-44-6564). But the Apollo 8 image is indeed historic.

        Ah, I was hoodwinked! Did you see the one from China? Fifty years later and it's black and white and blurry.

        I'm not sure which one you mean but the Apollo images were captured on medium-format film with Hasselblad cameras, which explains their beautiful quality.

        I meant the one from China's space agency from last year was so inferior to what we did decades ago. The pictures we take from space are so beautiful!

        Do you mean from Chang'e 3? Those digital images were actually pretty nice. http://spaceflight101.com/change/change-3-mission-gallery/ …pic.twitter.com/19vvKtpnoJ

        Apollo 11 was set to land on moon on on my 13th bday - July 21. My Dad told me for weeks before "July 21 will be in history books forever." I was SO EXCITED. The mission ended up ahead of schedule. Actually landed 2 hrs early on July 20. Heartbroken 13yr old... But still proud!

        Exact same story with my sister! She did get a rocket on her cake though.

        Oh geez - I feel her pain. Did your family stay up & watch the landing? It was really late, from 11pm-ish til about 2 am. I'm oldest of 6 kids & only me & my parents were awake. Super cute that your Mom added a rocket to the cake. Happy B-day to your sister!
