(4,111 posts)3. The music is from the docu-drama
From the Earth to the Moon which was co-produced by Tom Hanks and Ron Howard. It was a 12 part miniseries about the Apollo missions.

Through high school when Armstrong walked on the Moon. We were really looking forward. Obama has had to turn a lof ot this over to private corporations as they've been getting most of this now. Because, we can't be as socialistic as we were in the sixties, ugh, GOP.
