Well today begins the 34th anniversary of the mission that first landed men on the moon. 34 years ago today at 9:32 am EST a Saturn V lifted off from launch complex 39A carrying the CSM Columbia and LM Eagle. 4 days later they made the first successful manned lunar landing.

You beat me to it. Actually, I completely forgot about posting about it on the forum. I called the oldies station and asked them to play "Fly Me To The Moon," but they said they wouldn't.

If you stick around long enough for it to load, I made a little Flash intro on my site saluting the first Moon landing, http://www.biggestpaininthebutt.com

Why wouldn't they play that it sounds like a reasonable request its certainly old enough.

Yeah, they say they have the "Greatest Hits of the 60s and 70s." Fly Me to the Moon is from like '74, and it was a hit, but they said their format was classic rock. I think they should advertise that then.
