carosio Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 He and his fellow crewmen were astonishingly brave, if that rocket motor had failed to fire they would have been stranded on the moon with no possibility of help. Even during the (then) cold war, the Russians publicly acknowledged their bravery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agony Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Yes they couldn't get it going on way back. They literally just had enough fuel to set off again.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plain Talker Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 I remember July 1969. I had not long since started school, and this was all so very exciting. The headmistress even did an assembly on man landing on the moon! what an amazing time! RIP, Sir! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metalman Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-19381098 the bravest of the brave R.I.P i wasnt even 3 months old when they landed I was 8 and remember staying up late to watch it on the telly. Now that really is a once in a lifetime event, seeing the first man to set foot on the moon (or any extraterrestrial body for that matter). It's a shame he's died because there was a bit on the news not long ago saying that he was hoping to make it to the 50th anniversary of the landing. RIP.
