Watching the thing on the B & W TV. And comparing it to some of the stuff from some kids' books about how people would someday go to the moon.

Now I DO know where I was when that happened. I was at work in an optical frame warehouse and we had a little 13" TV on to watch the excitement. Man was I depressed and shocked!

I don't think you were at school in July or on a Sunday, Lixy.

I remember it was about 22:00 (EDT) on a weekend evening and we had been glued to the tube for hours, but I did have to look up if it was a Saturday or a Sunday.


"...At 2:56 UTC on July 21, Armstrong made his descent to the Moon's surface and spoke his famous line "That's one small step for (a) man, one giant leap for mankind" exactly six and a half hours after landing..."

Sitting in my great grandparents (mother's father's parents) house waatched it on a black and white TV.


Ok I was only a month old (to the day) then so I don't really remember it at all but I've been told the story and remember my great grandparents house and their TV and have watched it.

I was 3 so prolly doing what a 3 year old does.

OK...so I was 11 y/o when Apollo 11 landed. You'd think that if I could remember something from when I was 1 y/o that I would remember wtf I was doing when I was 11 and everyone else on the planet was watching TV!!! Maybe I was out looting or something...lmfao! Oh shoot...another missed opportunity!

Anyway...your PM cleared up what it was we watched in school. You are right in that it was the assassination of JFK. TY for your help hun!

38 years ago... how i'd love to say i was a year old or so. But lets see, i guess i was 13 years old. We used to spend most weekends at Dad's and we watched it there. I remember Dad was glued to the set. And we left to go back to Mom's shortly after it was over and missed all the commentary and stuff. It was pretty cool!! When I got out of the car at home I looked up at the moon and thought 'gee there's men up there'. I shot a prayer to God for thier safety and remember feeling very small.

My parents were gathered around the neighbor's tv set while I made a boom in my pants.

No...that was not when I learned of the Challenger!



For that, I was in the high school library desperately trying to finish my trig homework before seventh period.
