I know where I was - sick in bed with a gastric bug!! My mother had been over to our house to retrieve my 6 months old son, so that I could "enjoy" my misery in peace. Mum had television, which we didn't, so she decided to sit Philip up with a cushion behind him, so that he could watch history being made....she thought it would be nice that for the rest of his life he could claim he watched the moon landing, even if he didn't remember it!!
As for me, I didn't care a hoot what they did ... on the moon, or off it!!

My DH was working at Tidbinbilla Tracking Station in Canberra, Australia. working for NASA. Although he was helping to track the men on the moon it was not until 20 years later that he saw the film of the men landing on the moon. The reason for this was that there was no TV at the station for the men to see this. DH saw the first pictures come back from Space from the Mars mission, Mariner 4, I have just asked him about, said it was really slow coming back in bits per second. I was working at the time, but took the day off, went into Canberra to get some cash at the bank, there were TV's at the bank, I was the only customer so went back home to watch the TV. There did not have a video recorder then.
