New Yep.
Put me in shorts and a Bart Simpson t-shirt, freshly shaven and with a good night's sleep, and I look 18.

Until I smile and you see the crow's feet. :-)

I got carded the other day, too...

New People only mistake me for mid-20's
And I'm younger than you! :-(

(Admittedly by less than 6 months.)

But then, I didn't sound like a teenager when I was a teenager. I had to show an early girlfriend some ID to prove I wasn't 30. ;)

New It wasn't much to see.
Grainy black and white TV. :-(

What was amazing was the National Geographic articles that came out in that time period. The Apollo launches were always impressive because they were so slow. The shuttle leaps off the pad compared to the Saturn V, at least as I remember it. (Ron Howard sped it up in the CGI in his movie Apollo XIII. :-(

I still have a book that Gulf (the gasoline company) put out giving lots and lots of details about the Apollo project, etc., from back in the old days when service stations pumped gas and gave away glasses, dishes and books to get loyal customers...

Yes, the CGI in A13 was beyond stupid.

I didn't mind the grainy BW, I was just happy that the camera worked.

Oddly, it was the last TV from the Moon for years - A12's camera got pointed at the Sun and fried, A13 didn't make it, A14's camera was out of focus. It wasn't until 1971 and A15 that we got good video from the Moon, here:

By then noone gave a damn, and we all became girly men.

Well I ask you, which world do you prefer? That of 1969, or that of 2004?

I'll take the world with pioneers and self-respecting MEN over the preening sissies of this generation.

New Re: Arnold? Is that you? What have you done with UM?
That almost completely misses the point.

This has nothing to do with race or sex. It has to do with an unconscious and destructive readjustment of the psychic climate toward the Absolute Feminine, in which preening narcissism is the desired persona, and absolute risk-free government-imposed safety is mandated to guard these Precious Ones. The Great Devouring Mother has overwhelmed the western world.

Of course there is no way I can make you understand my point - you are a creature of the times, secure beneath the watchful eyes. You prefer instead to hang out labels that are themselves a symptom, not a cause.

New Me too.
There was a lot going on in the world of science and technology that someone born in 1971 basically got the arse end of. Apart from the Apollo missions et al, I would have loved to have been 10 years older during the home computer wars, for instance.
