I never know there was 6 moon landings, wtf??!?

One of my earliest memories was watching the Apollo 11 landings (July 1969) with my Dad. I was 4 years old at the time. He was so happy when this happened that he cried. After it was over he talked about heroes, bravery, science, ambition etc, but mostly about science.

I would then go outside to look at the moon to see if I could see the lander. The next day my dad bought me a telescope to get a closer look. I still couldn't see the lander it but thought that I could anyway. What I could see were the craters in more detail, and I imagined that the edges of the craters must look like mountains from the astronauts point of view. Later on he bought me a 45RPM record of the audio recording of that landing. So cool.

It's too bad that there are no more moon shots. Mars is more exciting of course but the real deal will be when an actual person lands again on the moon, or mars, or an asteroid. That will be really exciting.
