Ah, memories

My buddy [livejournal.com profile] pmoodie who hasn't been around LJ in ages shared this on FB with his commentary "In case the world's getting too depressing, and we're looking for the sublime":


Queen - LiveAid 1985. I remember getting up early and watching as much as I could all day when I was 15. Looooove this

How amusing! I have been to NASA. My family and I cheered when they got to the bit about the big crawler-transporters since they were made in my craptastic hometown (Marion Power Shovel, now defunct)

making the big crawler-transporter things is cool.

The US Ambassador in London was on the Radio the other day cause he'd been around London schools asking them to name things about America and "NASA" is consistently the one the Brits fanboy over.

I know the Apollo 1 crew is - White, Chaffee, Grissom for example....there was probably a time when I could have listed you off the names of the Apollo crews but alas my memory isn't what it used to be.

I wish NASA were MORE popular than nearby Disneyland for Americans. I feel somewhat proud that I've never been to either Disneyland or Disneyworld.

I was very impressed with Disney, but I was 8-13 years old when I went, im not sure what it's like as an adult. I was pleased because I was allowed to drink coke and eat McDonald's whereas that wasnt allowed in Britain.
