40 years ago today, we put a man on the moon. I missed the whole thing, having not been born yet and all. I'll bet it was quite the event. Had I been born, I'd likely have live-blogged it and tweeted the hell out of it.
It's pretty cool we put a man on the moon with 1969 technology. We should do something else for the first time, just to prove we've still got it.
