3. Somehow the Moon seems a lot further away than in 1969...

Amidst all the reminiscing and remembering where you were, I just feel kind of sad and jaded.

At the time, my sister and I (both of whom had cut our teeth on sci-fi) said to each other that instead of feeling blown away by the event we felt as if this was the logical progression of the history of exploration, the first step in a series of steps that would take humans to the Solar system and beyond.

My sister, who became a computer engineer, even dreamed of joining the space team as an astronaut herself.

Instead -- well, instead, near space is full of commercial satellites beaming mindless entertainment at us, and military satellites that threaten us, and satellites that spy on us.

Yes, the Moon does seem farther and farther away. :-(
