The Hits Never Stop

I noted earlier that the "Star Trek" "And The Children Shall Lead" premiered on the same day that Apollo 7 launched into space. Apollo 7 was the first of the Apollo series that would eventually lead to the first humans on the Earth's moon with Apollo 11. I believe I was on that Apollo 7 flight even though I was only 9.6 years old.

The "stardate" of that "Star Trek" episode that premiered the same day as the Apollo 7 launch was 5029.5.

The last launch of Apollo - the Apollo 17 flight - and the last landing of Apollo on Earth's moon occurred on 12/7/72.

On 12/7/72, I was 5029 days old.
