The Moon Landing | Generation X

three to all engine running liftoff we
have a liftoff 32 minutes past the hour
liftoff on Apollo 11 and our young
dreams liftoff with it
mankind is going to the moon and
technology is paving the way a new
horizon is in our future and for
Generation X the future is about to land
I was eight years old when they landed
on the moon
my father dragged me out of bed I’d had
no lead up to it so I didn’t know what
was going on you know it’s like static
and snow on the screen and scratchy
sound and the broadcaster’s are trying
to tell us what’s happening but they
don’t know what’s happening if he was
testing that first step he must be
stepping down on the moon at this point
suddenly this picture is on the screen
and it looked so sterile and it seemed
so spooky and scary and my dad’s like
there on the moon
they’re on them and I’m like watching
his lips going what is he saying they’re
on the moon for young Gen X it’s not a
dream it’s our new reality the promises
of Technology have gotten us off our
planet
