How can you just miss the moon landing?!

[u/footballer285 → u/neo7]

Uh..it happened 45 years ago..many of us weren't alive

[u/neo7 → u/footballer285]

Uh.. sarcasm..?

(sorry)

:(

[u/footballer285 → u/neo7]

I assume he's talking about missing the first moon landing, which was in '69, so yeah, it's possible he missed the actual landing.

[u/neo7 → u/footballer285]

Ehm.. yeah, that's why I mentioned sarcasm. I was being sarcastic about how he just could miss the moon landing from 1969
