This Is For The Old Folks Like Me,

I found this site looking back at 1969,



 that published photographs from that year when I was 19 years old, I have picked 5 that I remember so well, a portrait of the crew of NASA's Apollo 11 mission to the moon; from left, the astronauts Buzz Aldrin, Michael Collins, and Neil Armstrong, as they pose on a model of the moon in 1969, Ralph Morse / The LIFE Picture Collection / Getty

 original caption from April 9, 1969: "Off the ground for the very first time is the British-built prototype of the Anglo-French supersonic airliner 'Concorde 002' The liner, piloted by test pilot Brian Trubshaw, made her maiden flight to the nearby Fairford, spending some 21 minutes in the air." Bettmann / Getty
