Did Neil Armstrong really step foot on the moon some 40 years ago? And if so, what’s so special about that moment for humanity? This year is the 40th anniversary of America’s first setting foot on the moon and recently Americans have been questioning the validity of NASA’s accomplishment, suggesting that it was all a hoax or that maybe it was all just to convince all that America’s technology was just as advanced as the Soviet Union. Recently, I’ve had the dissatisfaction of reading some comments on this topic. A few posts mention how the U.S. has managed to pollute the earth and that everything that they touch or have a hand in, they screw it up. Really?!! I mean, come on, do these people have lives? First of all there is always a price when it comes to advancement in anything in life, why should technology be different. I’m sure that these are the same people that own computers which emit carbon pollution, the same people that own vehicles that give off the overwhelmingly popular pollutants that negatively contribute to our environment and common everyday ozone hazardous products. Does it really matter? I’m assuming he did but we have so much to be happy and fortunate for and nothing to complain about. Just look at some hardships of other countries and look back at America and be grateful that we live in one of the most independent and opportunistic places on the globe. So even if Neil hadn’t got to the moon, in a way, everything that we feel, see and hear is beyond the moon. One small step for mankind is just another way of saying we’re making slow, but good progress.
