Could you imagine living in 1969? Sending astronauts to the moon. Fighting a useless war and the president is a crook.
@cmconseils

Monty Python did a sketch around that time.
“Wow look at page 8 - Nixon’s had an asshole transplant.”
“Have you seen the ‘stop press’? The asshole rejected him.” -
@cmconseils
was there.Me too.
Once of my earliest memories is of watching Neil Armstrong stepping onto the moon on my Nan's telly. -

@cmconseils Ah good old Tricky Dicky!
A beacon of sanity and honesty.
How I miss him.
/s but I am not completely sure as he got caught in the end.

Was born in early 1970 (was supposed to have been born in early December of 1969). So, I was still living in the immediate aftermath of those events.
Soon enough, we'll have the de-orbiting of the ISS to look forward to in the same way that we had the de-orbiting of SkyLab to look forward to. -

I know. The astronauts didn't even have group hugs on TV in 69. It must have been horrible.

@cmconseils yeah, but that one had the good sense to leave...when his party told him they were kicking him out

Me too.
Once of my earliest memories is of watching Neil Armstrong stepping onto the moon on my Nan's telly.@snaprails @TheEddieShow @cmconseils I'm surprised it was economically viable to get your Nan's telly to the moon for him to step on! 1969 payload costs were bonkers.

@duncan_bayne @TheEddieShow @cmconseils
Indeed, which is why it was much easier to bring the moon down onto my Nan's telly

@cmconseils
Pretty hard to imagine. I'm so glad Congress and DOJ held that criminal president fully accountable in 1969. Did he die in prison? Future presidents will definitely think twice about breaking the law... WAIT!

@cmconseils can you imagine what it must have been like back then ... then ... then [fade to 1969, gas is $0.35 ($3.19 adjusted for inflation)]

@cmconseils Ah, to live in a time when the other two branches of government and the Fourth Estate were still slightly useful.

@cmconseils being born then was quite the thing for me.
