3. I'm old enough to remember the moon landing.

4. I was 11 years old again.

I stayed up to witness the landing. For me it was 1969 all over again.

This is why I became a scientist

That's one thing about America. We have some people doing impressive things like this.

And it's the only country in the world where a bar fight starts with the words, "Yew sound lak one o' dem college boys."

Hard to imagine the enormous, concerted effort that must have went into this to make it a reality! Just like in 1969...this changes everything!!!
