Wow! Has it been that long? I can remember getting the kids up to watch.

What amazed me is that it's already been almost 20 years since the 20th Anniversary, back when I was in grad school. I remember they re-broadcast the "live feed" in real time on cable TV (as if you were watching the landing live).

It's hard to believe that it's been almost as long since that anniversary as it was from the actual event!
