Yes He was. I like the part when he put his daughters initials in the moon dust.
How old were you and any others that respond when he landed on the Moon?
I was 16

Seems like a good trade off. I can put five Cubs where one car sat and there are no titles or license to fool with!

I was not born yet.

I have a whole lot of respect for those early NASA astronauts and for what they did.

RIP Mr. Cernan.

"I can always walk on Main Street again, but I can never return to my Valley of Taurus-Littrow, and that cold fact has left me with a yearning restlessness," - Gene Cernan

Classy, cool guy.

Only time my mom ever let me stay home from school to watch the moon landing and moon walk. I was 13.

Those guys had true guts to go through what they did.

Oh yeah, they were a fearless group of men. Lived a life others could only dream.
I was ten years and six days old.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
