Thank you for this understated reminder of some of the most audacious cultural accomplishments of our kind... I, for one, am grateful to have "eye-witnessed" the televised events of the space program from my sixth birthday forward--starting with Alan Shephard, Mercury / Freedom 7, May 5th, 1961!
I heard that when the accent stage of the LEM took off, it blew the flag over. I've also heard that as more and more countries start to land on the moon (robotic probes for now but eventually with astronauts) there is a movement to try and preserve those first footprints.
