39 years ago today Apollo 11 lifted off to go to the moon.  On july 20 1969 Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed on the moon.    It is said that the space craft had the computing power of a digital watch of today.  Also, all the computers in mission control had the power of 1 laptop of today.  Realizing this make me truly amazed of our accomplishment.  The objective and accomplishment of putting a man on the moon is the TRUE  spirit of what America is all about.  When we put our minds to it, we can do anything.
