    Whose flag is on the moon?

    My flag is on the moon--and has been since July 20, 1969.

    Watched it live as a kid and was later friends with a gal who's father helped design part of the suit.

    It’s always been disappointing to think that we only went a handful of times and haven’t been back in more than 50 years. According to sci fi of the time we should’ve had moon bases by now and exploring the outer planets by now.

    A German (uncle of a good friend of mine, who was also in the control room when it happened) was instrumental in this.
