I watched every lift off and splash down that was televised. The Apollo 11 mission was the most thrilling thing I remember from the entire space program. All the astronauts trained as a part of their survival here at Aviation Indoctrination at N.A.S. Pensacola. The Kennedy speech was when I was in the first grade and I am one of the ones that went on to get an Engineering Degree out of the kids that were inspired by the space race. Mr. Armstrong did his primary flight training here at Corry Field (now an Information Warfare Center.) He was a great and humble man, went into Engineering education after he left the Astronaut Corps. I hope the nation realizes what important men all the Astronauts were/are to us. God Speed Neil Armstrong.
