And how advanced other civilizations out there in the universe might be who've been at this a lot longer then we have.

I've noticed at 68 over the past few years I've not only slowed down, but just a bit, however I seem to trip over stuff a lot more. So there's no way I'll make it to 119.

One of my greatest joys was to see his reaction to our astronauts landing on the moon.

He cried.
