Fifty years after
the arrival of man on the Moon, a couple of European sexagenarians remember the
first landing:
“Do you know what
day is today?”
“Saturday, why?”
“I mean the date.”
“July 20th 2019, what
about it?”
“Exactly fifty
years ago, man reached the Moon.”
“Oh yeah! But
wait, there is something wrong here, didn’t they arrive on the twenty-first?”
"No, it was the
twentieth, but it took them over six hours to get down from the capsule. By
then, in Europe it was the twenty-first, but in the United States it was still the
twentieth.”
“True! I remember it
well. I saw it on TV. I was ten years old.”
“Me too.”
