Were you?
 

If the answer is yes to that, what and where were you doing 38 years ago tonight?

Nope, I didn't see it. I was about a year and a half old at the time but the story I've been told is they brought a TV into my hospital room at the Univ. of Iowa Hospitals and my folks watched it with a couple of nurses. If you're asking about what I think you're asking about....... one small step????

yes I did , Sitting in the living room glued to the tube

Yes IM.:) My son was only about a year older than you and was sitting on my lap watching also (or being pointed at the tube) but remembers about the same as you. LOL

It WAS an "I remember..." moment for a lot of people on this planet. ;)

At home in the living room. One Giant leap ...

13 1/2 yrs old... I think my bro was back in Germany with his new bride, but the rest of the family was sitting in front of the big-ass Zenith in the den...my dad was a federal employee (US Customs) & Tricky Dick had given him the next day off so he could stay up & watch...I can only imagine what he was thinking (the Sarge did not wear his feelings on his sleeve), since he was born about 6 years after KittyHawk, & here he was watching guys walking on the moon, fercryinoutloud...my thoughts would return to that shadowy, almost ghostly image on the screen when I heard some assholes insisting it was faked on a Hollywood sound stage...if Hollywood had produced this, I would have expected a hell of a lot better pictures out of the deal...

I was itty bitty but I have a scrapbook that an old lady from my Gramma's church made for me and it has all the clippings.

I would have been drooling, oooing, ahhhing and making crappy nappy :D :D

...not born yet....


/me creeps out of the thread.

me neither

about 11 years before my time.....

That is the difference in this event being spectacular news and history. I think you will someday tell someone about 9/11 that will look at you like it was just something else in the book along with Bunker Hill, Waterloo and the Titanic. :cool:

I was in school, second last year of High School, sat in a hall with a zillion other kids watching one black and white TV.

History.

I was 11 and watching it at home with my Mom and brothers. I remember seeing it and hearing people say it was staged in Hollywood. LOL

We were on Home Leave and watched it in my Aunt's basement with the rest of the family. It was a big deal.

I thought I remembered seeing this in school (they wheeled the TV into the classroom) but with everyone's answer of being at home in front of the TV I think I'm mistaken.

Hmmmmmm...why would I have that false memory?

What day and time of day did it actually air? I gotta figure out where I was!

I take pride in remembering my childhood...way back to an incident when I was 1y/o. I related something to my mom once and she was surprised to realize I was remembering something when I was only a year old.

This throws a wrench into the mix for me!
