Amelia and all,
Your message is very poignant. In a way, I'm always a
bit disappointed with groups such as UFO (but don't
shoot yet, please!), because what is, of course, most
interesting is what brings us all together. And we
rarely discuss this. Maybe I could start...
I grew up in the late '60s, early '70s when there were
an incredible amount of moon landings. Since then
there have been none. To me this is the defining fact
of my generation, and I am constantly aware of it
because I teach students who were born after the last
landing.
I see this down the track as a bit like Christ - none
of us now know whether Christ ever lived, but I know
that Neil Armstrong & Buzz Aldrin walked on the moon -
didn't they??? Lots of people would now have you
believe that it all happened in a film studio.
Well, I'll tell you - it wasn't just moon landings -
in the '70s WE (as a people) did so much! Gerry &
Silvia made Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlett, Stingray,
and UFO. I have never seen anything like this
creativity since.
And I think it is time we discussed why this is.
