Pret,
I was washing TV on that unforgettable and incredible night when a men set 
his foot moon the Moon. Now in the internet era where you can see, read and 
heard estrange stuff over the net.  I still have no doubt that the Apollo 11 
mission landed over the moon. If there were any fake of the Apollo mission, 
the USSR government of that time would have publicized and the Americans 
would have been laughing stock since then, and nothing like that ever 
happened.
Remember that the grass is always greener on the other side.
Regards and enjoy the 40 years

I was six years old, enjoying my first summer vacation from school,
taking small steps and giant leaps of my own (although for me, the
expectations were modest).

I watched the grainy black-and-white on late-night TV in my parents'
room, periodically sprinting downstairs and out into the yard to squint
up and imagine that I might be really sharing the experience.

An extraordinary moment, no doubt.

But I hear it was all faked.  'Least that's what they say on the
internets.

Do you remember what you were doing 40 years ago today? It is one of
those very vivid days in my memory. I am sure that is the same for most
of you
