> I think every American who was alive at that time remembers Yuri Gagarin and the first space flight. It was huge news here and left an indelible mark on the country. Remember, this came at the height of the cold war, and it was an embarassment to the United States. It was what led Kennedy to pledge that the US would put a man on the moon within ten years. Yuri's flight was a tremendous accomplishment, and it altered the history of the planet. > Paul
I remember the moon walk in 1969. Dad had brought the B&W TV from home on our camping trip and everyone sat around and watched the happenings. Dave
