When we get out of the WABAC, we see hoomans and vehicles packed on the shore. There are a lot of boats on the Indian River. Dad points a yacht on the river. Rick, his brother Mark and their Mom are on that boat. A little after 9:30 we hear a loud roar and then see a rocket go up in the air. Dad smiles with pride and we rub up against him.

| The Launch |
As we look at Dad, he tells us that we are watching a great moment in history. A twelve year old Dad is with his family watching the launch on a black and white TV in Amherst, Ohio. The upcoming days would feature one of the few times that people remember where they were and something good happened.

Mr. Peabody & Sherman as well as Doctor Who and a few other time traveling sleuths would be proud! You've mentioned one of the biggest hallmarks in history that bonded mankind together, albeit for just a moment. I was only 3, but I remember misbehaving with my twin sister and dad scolding us to be quiet and to watch because this was a big deal. One of these days, I'm gonna make it up to Wapakoneta, OH to see the Armstrong Museum. I heard it's an amazing treat to experience.
