This is frankly, quite scary...

My sister is 23...
She's done A levels and is at college. So, she's not immensely thick.

Just found out from lending her Apollo 13 on DVD that she didn't know that man had walked on the moon.

W...T...F... ?!?!?!!?!

She even asked her friends about it for me - out of 6 people she asked, 4 didn't know!

I'm just about speechless about this. Nice to see that 20th century history is being taught well. I've leant her a couple of DVD's on the Apollo missions for her to watch - I wish I could get the complete moon landing videos too. Shame NASA don't actually know where the master tapes are. All we have are the crap copies due to NASA broadcasting in a format the networks couldn't handle and having to bodge a solution.

If I liked little bastards, I'd consider teaching 20th century history myself. WW1, WW2, Cold War, space race, first flight, Russian revolution, discovery of King Tut's tomb, Vietnam etc.....

I'll just have to get back to going to Duxford and helping out there.
