I wasn't alive then, but the fact that the " summer of 69 " was 53 years ago is freaking mindboggling.

      I still feel like 911 happened yesterday. I remember my teacher brining in the TV in the classroom and watching it all on tv. I was 16

        Saaame I was in 6th grade and the teacher brought in a TV to us. The teacher across the hall was frantically crying because her parents worked at the world trade center. Which is a crazy coincidence because we are in Tennessee. Her parents were fine but its not like we had cell phones back then.

    Yeah, it is. I was 18 and it was the summer of: the moon landing, Woodstock, anti war protests and the Manson murders. Hectic.

    I still got to remind myself I live in the 2020s.

    For some reason it always seemed like an imaginary number.

    Like if I get a 30 year mortgage itll be paid off in 2052... 2052 that's not a real number.

    I remember when 1969 was 17,18 years ago and I thought THAT was a long time ago.

    The summer of 69 was memorable. The moon landing. High school dances with pretty girls everywhere. Drive in movies.

    1969 was a good year.... The moon landing, the summer of love, hippies, Vietnam war protests (I lived near some of the major ones), etc.

    I have vivid and mostly good memories of it...

      Everyone who remembers that particular year has a strong emotional attachment to it. No wonder why the song " Summer of 69 " was a such a hit.

      Given the curse of self awareness. But fuck yeah we are gonna conquer the stars.

      I'm giving it 1000 years before we invent faster than light travel if not teleportation. Sure its "physically impossible" but 50 years ago we landed on the fucking moon.
