On July 20, 1969, I was riding shotgun in my father's 1964 Greenbrier,
on a highway in New Jersey known as the Garden State Parkway. At 4:18
PM that day, we heard on the car's radio:
"Houston, Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed."
How big a moment was that? To this day, every time -- and I mean every
time -- that I drive past the point on the highway where we were when
this happened, I think of it. Every time.
Monday will mark 40 years to the day.
Dad's been gone over ten years now. But I still have his Greenbrier.
On Monday, at 4:18 PM, with the radio on, I will be driving past -- or
stopped at -- that very location.
Where you in a Corvair when man first landed on the Moon?
