Today is the 40th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing, when Neil Armstrong became the first man to set foot on the moon. Later he would say:
[B]“It suddenly struck me that that tiny pea, pretty and blue, was the Earth.
I put up my thumb and shut one eye, and my thumb blotted out the planet Earth.
I didn’t feel like a giant. I felt very, very small.”[/B]
Seven months earlier, on Christmas Eve 1968, Astronaut William Anders had taken the iconic photo “Earthrise” from the window of the Apollo 8 Command Module, in orbit around the moon. That photo shows the Earth as Neil Armstrong would later see it.

It’s kind of weird how you associate people with their avatars so much.
and for a quote…

[B]Hi, sandpipper[/B]
I know what you mean about avatars. I especially like Phil’s avatar. If I ever find out that he doesn’t look exactly like his avatar,
I will be really disappointed.
