I was working that summer for the Forest Service near Avery, Idaho piling logging slash. That weekend I hitched a ride to a Missoula. I missed most of the show but the ride with the half drunk logger in a car he claimed to have gotten for a case of beer was surely as dangerous as anything the astronauts experienced.

Watching tv at home with my family

My family joined another family/relatives for dinner and to watch the first man to walk on the moon. It was very memorable. I was mesmerized as a 12 year old. It was amazing! It was like all of us could feel a bit of pride in that, being part of humankind.

Working as a telephone operator on a 1920 switchboard. A television was brought onto the floor so we could experience this. I am more impressed with reusable rockets & the space shuttle returning to earth. I always thought we would land on the moow & was not that impressed.

Watched TV all day then went for a walk in an unusually cool evening while astronauts walked on the moon....the TV commentators were long on words and short on animated plans for space stations and trips to Mars so I enjoyed the smell of fresh cut lawns back yard bbq and colorful flowers not growing @ my house....war was raging in Vietnam my brother had been back a year yet the TV made little mention of kills and captured either side for the big news of APOLLO

I was four, I vaguely remember seeing those astronauts on the black and white TV, not really knowing what this was about.

If it’s the day I think … I was at Portland’s Delta Park (PIR) watching the drag races! Then all the cars shut down ...as the announcer put the radio feed from Apollo 11 over the PA system. I’d have been home watching it … but how’s a 12 year old pass up his uncle’s invite to the Drags?

Magnificent! Really put ‘us’ into perspective, and seemed the world was glowing with pride.. Miss that ~

Was at my aunt's and uncle's watching the moon landing with cousins and a friend.

I was watching the first human walk on the moon. I was sitting with a friend, 9 months pregnant with my 1st child and waiting for her daddy to come home from Viet Nam.
