Apollo - I am still amazed

Take off was forty years ago today. The vision, motivation, organisation, dedication, skill, ambition and bravery of the apollo program for me is without question man's greatest adventure and, although driven by cold war forces and expensive, transends that background and shows man at his very best.

400,000 people's efforts over a decade. A promise made by kennedy three weeks after Shepherd had just made low earth orbit. A round trip of half a million miles.

Have a look at the clip. When was the last time you felt this much job satisfaction? (I thought so!)
