Hi All,
35 years ago I was 15 and was watching at the next door neighbors house
where her grandson happened to be visiting from out of town. Her grandson
and I shared an interest in stamp collection and were trading postage stamps.
Later the U.S. Post Office released a commemorative postage stamp
Hello Paul and all, (Paul first posted this thread)
I grew up during the space race and remember not only the Apollo Missions but also
the Mercury and especially the Gemini Missions in space (though with not a whole
lot of detail). I remember in sixth grade reading about the Apollo program and
I was 11 and absolutely glued to the TV. My mom let me stay up to
watch it and stay home from school the next day. I remember it like it
was yesterday, I was blown away by it because rockets and spaceflight
was (and still is) facinating. The whole thing STILL blows my mind to
this day. Oh how I
Dear List:
It was like it happened yesterday. I was 10. We
drove to Grandpa`s house because we didn`t have a TV.
All family members stood or sat as the action unfolded
on Grandpa`s 10 inch B/W TV. Wow. We were first; I
remember the pride of the average American and the awe
around the
Some 35 years ago, I was with my family at my
grandmother's house in Falmouth (Cape Cod), MA. There,
I watched the first step on the Moon with my whole
family,
two parents and five kids, and my Mom's mother
gathered
around the television. It was a bit surreal watching
the
first step on the
Hmm 35 years ago.. I wasn't' born for another 5 years :( Drat, I

Hello,
I was just 20 years old then. I can't remember a lot of details, e.g. if
the TV was b/w or color, but I can still remember that
... after watching these first steps, I was looking at our moon in a
very different way!

Hello Paul and List,
Great questions, Paul. I'm enjoying reading the
responses.
I was at home with my Mom and Dad as I was 14 years
old. The three of us watched the event unfold on our
little ~14 inch (?) B W TV together.
I think the Apollo program was truly our nation at
its finest.
Paul, Robert and others,
Watching the landing and subsequent ladder walk by Neil Armstrong as an impressionable
11 year old was quite exciting for me, my parents and two brothers. Our family having
an enormous 20 some inch color TV console was a big deal at the time...but the images

Where was I?
I was on Marcus Island (now Manami Tori Shima), some 603 miles east of
Iwo Jima (the closest island) working on the USCG Loran C navigation
system. Three quarters of a square mile of bare coral sand, no trees,
no booze, no women. One year tour. Three of the thirty coasties had
I was ten years old, soon to be eleven, and I remember sitting in the living room with
my parents, in front of a black and white television watchting a blurry image.
The questions are: Where were you when
Neil Armstrong first stepped out on the
Moon 35 years ago? Where did you watch
it and
Hiding under the coffee table in our living room, a perfect vantage point
from which to watch all space-related events (Star Trek, Lost in Space, and
the moon landings.) The TV picture was blurry, but it was in color. I
remember not being too impressed, but at the same time having a sense of

Neil Armstrong first stepped out on the
Moon 35 years ago? Where did you watch
it and with whom?
