Thirty-seven years ago today.

Okay, Congress has got its head up its ass and NASA is perpetually tongue-tied. How would you sell the need to greatly expand the space program to the public? You have three reasonably short sentences and no big words -- think "sound bite". Ready, set, go. (I have my own version, which I'll put here later so as not to Heisenberg the thing.)

Somehow what you've done with this is remind me that I'm going to be 37 in five months. Gee, thanks. ;)

I suspect it will be a Monty Python party this year.

Yeah, well. I just turned forty-six. I can be The Old Man From Scene 24 at your party....

Yes, but the Old Man from Scene 24 didn't have a guitar. Or a Pepsi.
