Doesn't seem like 52 years since I sat on the living room floor as a little boy in Fowler's Mill and watched the astonishing sight of American astronauts bouncing around on the surface of Earth's moon. Where were you when it happened?

Wearing my Speedmaster Pro to celebrate the occasion, and I hope you are, too!

What an amazing day in US history indeed. Having a toast tonight to the heroes that showcased humanity's potential.

52 years ago aliens invaded the moon.

Wearing my Speedmaster and thinking back to a trip my son and I took to DC a few years ago.

I wasn't born then, but I'm wearing my Speedmaster anyway.

I was in my mother's belly. Born later that year but technically "alive" for the moon landing. Must have been amazing to be watching that live.

I remember watching this. Those were interesting times.

A great day in history!

I was a kid back then, but remember sitting in front of the TV with my sister and parents watching. Amazed and wide eyed. Had to have "Tang" to drink after that.

I was approximately -18 years old when that amazing event took place, so I missed seeing it by a smidge. I still love my Speedmasters though!

I was driving up Seneca Street in West Seneca on my way to my girlfriend's house. The streets were empty at the time. Everybody was at home watching TV.
