Karen, what have you people done????

picky, picky, picky - life is too short to worry about the small details!

Ok. Should have said the space age. In 1962, over the intercom system
in high school, we listened to one of the first space missions.
Mercury, maybe? Anyway, that's tremendous for someone to go from horse
& buggy to shooting things out in space. Even if it was just a monkey
for a couple hours. :-)

Yes, she had running water pipes, but not toilet facilities. :-)
That's what I meant by no indoor plumbing.

Sorry, Dianne, but if your grandmother died in 1967, she did not live
to see anyone orbit, much less walk on, the moon.

From a NASA site:
Apollo 8
Launched 21 December 1968
Lunar Orbit and Return
Returned to Earth 27 December 1968

Apollo 10
Launched 18 May 1969
Lunar Orbit and Return
Returned to Earth 26 May 1969

Apollo 11
Launched 16 July 1969
Landed on Moon 20 July 1969
Sea of Tranquility
Returned to Earth 24 July 1969


Also, the Romans had plumbing.

actually was touched by Napoleon ,,, WOW ,,,,,
