Miss C. my Great Grandfather had too much trouble believing the moon landing was real even though he saw it on TV. It took him a long time to cross the Atlantic, it didn't seem possible the moon was so "easy". I might have said Roberta Bondar, but she only went into space, it’s another thing to land on the Moon.

When you asked that question, I said John Glenn! Alan Shepherd! Oh wait, Neil Armstrong. Oh, too old, how about Christa McCauliffe? That was over twenty years ago! Seems like yesterday. My kids and I just recently visited the Air and Space Museum at the Smithsonian, and I STILL haven't got them convinced that we went to the moon. I am so old.
