#2 About 11:00 on a hot summer night. We didn't think there'd be TV. I mean, from the moon? How they gonna do that? I remember being crammed in to my parents bedroom with my 8 brothers and sisters trying to watch it on a 20" black and white TV because it was the only room in the house with air conditioning...

#3 I remember being allowed to stay up late and watch the whole event as it unfolded (I would have been 10 at the time) on a tiny B&W TV that got something like 3 channels, all of them fuzzy.

I don't think I slept a wink the whole night. It was a very exciting time for me as a little kid, for the space program, and for the USA in general. It's high time we got caught up in that excitement once again.

#4 I was eight months old. I had the honor of watching the Apollo-Soyuz mission in 75, I annoyed the crap out of my mom and dad, I wanted to see the Apollo-Soyuz go overhead, unfortunately it was cloudy where we lived. My dad walked me out on the front porch and I just stared at the sky. Years later I asked my dad where he was when Neil Armstrong made that first step. He said he was in the hospital waiting room. I was a rather sick little boy, I was in the hospital still an infant. I guess the bug got to me when I was young.
