I was 15yrs old excited to be seeing the moonwalk. I even wrote NASA to see if I could see the landing with my Telescope. They even wrote me back, see attached. Was excited from the beginning of the space program. Dream job came true in 1980 in going to work as a contractor here in Houston as a Broadcast TV technician for covering the Space Shuttle Landings in Calif and New Mexico.
As an Iron Butt Rider, two other riders and myself rode a ride from Earth, Tx to Moon. Pa. We left separately doing our own ride this last Wednesday the 16th, Launch day of Apollo 11. They did Bun Burnner Gold rides with 1500 miles in under 24hrs. I wanted to do a SaddleSore 3000 in under 72hrs from Earth, Tx to Moon, PA and back to Earth, Tx.
We all completed our rides to celebrate the 45th Anniversary. Here is my spotwalla track of my ride.
My 05 Midnight Venture did another great job in making the ride fun. Now with over 127,000 miles on her.
