I concur with the sentiments here. But I do have a comment. There was one earlier event, about 24 years earlier in fact, of possibly equal significance.
I refer to July 16th, a date that became significant in 1945. Trinity Day.
Which event was more significant? The jury is still out. But one thing that Trinity Day made crystal clear is the absolute necessity for the train of events of which Tranquility Day was the culmination. For now, unfortunately.
We could have had a working Moonbase in the late 1970s and significant human population in high orbit by the late 1980s. So many opportunities missed...
