There are certain historic moments that many people of each generation will never forget, and, in fact, can recall where they were when the event happened.
Do you remember . . .
Reminisce, or hear for the first time, the sounds of a rocket countdown, an astronaut's report that his space shuttle left Earth's gravitational pull, Astronaut Neil Armstrong's first words as he stepped on lunar soil, the beep-beep-beep of Sputnik, and other sounds in man's quest to leave Earth.
