I think that's why I like the beginning of the movie Apollo 13 so much ... Jim Lovell looking at the moon while someone is there walking on it. I did that, too (as did millions). It was such a wonderment feeling. And I wasn't even headed there any time soon, like he was (or so he thought).
But the day of the first steps was imprinted very specifically. I remember almost everything I did that entire day. 40 freaking years ago. Wow.
