When your mama gets out of bed to go to KFC, it is the greatest weightlifting effort ever.

I doubt that either of these 2 men got a lot of sleep.

My grandparents who was in the USA on holiday at the time of Apollo 4’s launch. No words can describe the site of this majestic skyscraper-sized excellent beast of a rocket 🚀 launching off the pad. This made them go back to Florida to witness Apollo 11.

Just boggles the mind how people think the Apollo project was fake. If so, you would just end it with this episode. These were heroes trying to solve a major life death problem, and they pulled it off. Amazingly America would press on with a few more launches to prove they could pull this off without these issues.

More please Thank you : -
