After the last 2 fiascoes from a few years ago I am certainly glad we 
succeeded. There is some consolation that the Japanese and Europeans 
also failed in attempts to land on Mars.
BTW I was at a Boy Scout Jamboree in Idaho at the time of the Apollo 11. 
We watched it on a drive-in movie type screen. Quite exciting, 
especially as I was a nut for that stuff. I still have newspaper and 
magazine clippings from all of those early happenings.
