    I too was there at the Cape on July 16, 1969. I was a 13 year-old BoyScout, there with my troop on a field trip. I remember the day well, including my old telescope which we dragged on to the beach to get a closer look.
    I agree with Mr Alexander that there was such a letdown after the final mission. It was if Kennedy got his wish - let's do it to say we did it and then move on. I hope that the current NASA planners can do something to get the program back to where it once was - or maybe that can never be.
