Mickwhitt 4,593 #4 Posted April 29, 2021 One of the highlights of my life was standing beneath the Saturn 5 moon rocket at Cape Cavaneral, Canaraval, Cape...The Kennedy Space Centre. It was truly awe inspiring to think that man had built such a vehicle and travelled to the moon and back. The bravery and ingenuity of the men who piloted these beasts is beyond comprehension. At a time when computing was so basic their achievements are breath taking. Rest in peace Michael Collins. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
