I'm nostalgic for it - Nixon's crimes are only about a week's worth of this year's crimes. And there was only one useless war. And there were intrepid WaPo reporters ON IT. And we only read the news once a day.

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! 😳

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

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

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.

A beacon of sanity and honesty.

How I miss him.

/s but I am not completely sure as he got caught in the end.

Me too.
Once of my earliest memories is of watching Neil Armstrong stepping onto the moon on my Nan's telly.

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.”
