Neat story about the dump truck. I was 12 years old. I followed the space program through my formative years and enjoyed science in general. When they got to the moon, I thought it was a neat achievement, but didn't understand all the hoopla. They said they were going to the moon, and they went to the moon. In a child's mind, adults did that, they set a goal and they achieve the goal. It was just the way the world worked in my innocent mind. As the years passed I grew to realize what an amazing achievement the moon landings were, and still are.
