Not gonna lie, I choked up. Last manned moon mission, I was just a baby. And my dad kept a young man's scrapbook through the 50s and 60s space race. Wish he still around to see this one.

Godspeed!

Fantastic launch. I got a little emotional, too.

I think I will again tomorrow, when (assuming all goes well) I hear Capcom say go for TLI...

I wish I could summon even half the enthusiasm I felt in 1969, but all I can think about is four people risking their lives to do what we did half a century ago.
