There will never be another Apollo. What a privilege to have been able to witness it, albeit at a very young age,

Of the twelve who walked on the moon only eight remain with us as of today.

Godspeed Commander Armstrong

Looks like he is the oldest,so far.I didn't realize there were 12 total.After a while I guess it became a un eventful, low reported event. Society gained allot of new products from this quest & industry.

Not to detract from this thread..Wondering how many famous or Great contributors to our Ocean we can come up with.
