Re: OT: RIP Neil Armstrong Message #7 Posted by Gilles Carpentier on 26 Aug 2012, 7:55 a.m., in response to message #1 by Ethan Conner
For the french readers : In the newspaper "Le Monde" an extract of 150 testimonies about the 21 of july 1969. I like this one :
"I was only a kid but I remember that night : Hidden behind the sofa of my parents, the black and white TV and my father who screamed : They did it ! They did it! It was the first time I saw him kissing my mother...!"
( Bruno Jean )
Le Monde - 21 juillet 1969
"(...) Armstrong marche sur la lune, les commentaires fusent, le moment est historique, le monde entier est focalisé sur l'instant et un dernier morceau de pain essuie le bol et disparaît. Puis nous avons traversé le village. L'odeur de foin, du four à chaux et des bouses, se mêlaient. Trois hommes étaient la haut. Tout à l'heure le coq chanterait, les vaches quitteraient l'étable. Ici rien ne changerait. Mais trois hommes étaient sur la lune."
( Thomas Gelée )
Bad translation :
"(...) Armstrong walks on the moon, comments fuse, it is an historic moment, the whole world is focused on this and the last piece of bread cleans my bowl and disappears. Then we walked through the village. Smell of hay, lime kiln and dung mingled. Three men are on the moon. Later the cock will sing, the cows will leave the barn. Here nothing would change. But three men were on the moon ".
