I have very much enjoyed the threads that deal with Apollo 11 and it's legacy. I think Apollo 11 was one of the few good things that came out of the monstrous waste of resources called the cold war. It inspired me as a child and gives me hope to this day that mankind is capable of incredible achievements. If Apollo 11 was a memorable event for you or inspired you somehow maybe you could place your thoughts here
Marc Garneau was the first canadian in space and here are his thoughts on how Apollo11 changed things for him

I cannot express my respect enough for people like him and all the folks at the various space agencies who have given us this incredible memory from the past and strive to keep it going now and into the future.
Canada also made some contributions to the Apollo program. The LEM was designed by a canadian and the legs were made here as well. I am glad our country made a contribution,albeit a small one, to such an incredible effort
