My parents corralled me, and sat me down in front of the black and white TV and said, "Watch This". I remember it well.

I remember it well, a fascinating event and very geeky cool. I also cannot believe the original tapes are gone.

At a Private Christian school then....we all gathered in the church with a tiny TV to watch....still remember the amazement of watching men walk on the moon!

I hear it was so riveting that planes fell out of the skies because the pilots were at home watching TV.

I'm sorry young folks missed it. It was the last piece of American History that was good news instead of bad.

Not so. The moon landing was a nice warmup for the Mets winning the World Series that year.

I know, it is amazing we haven't all just slit our wrists in despair.
