saturn Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Yes. Perhaps we should copy the link to this thread into the "Conspiracies" thread... One of my earliest memories is of me sitting in a high chair looking at the TV and seeing these guys in the space suits jumping around on the moon. Of course I didn't understand what it was, and I might even have been viewing a re-run of the footage . But I distinctly remember seeing it as a very young child.

Cougar Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Pretty freaking amazing, if you ask me. Close to a full moon tonight. Look at it, and then think about going there and walking around.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrNylon Posted July 20, 2013 Author Share Posted July 20, 2013 I was 17 going into my Sr. year in high school, watching it live on TV with Walter Cronkite on CBS. I was in awe as it all happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pippy Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 I remember watching in school :) Me too, Donny! I was at Primary School and they set up a TV in the school hall so we could all watch it. P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlie brown Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Yeah, we sat out on our front porch, and watched them walk around up there! (Well...imagined it!) Of couse, there are those who say it never happened, that it was just a staged "movie" in an obscure government studio. I much prefer (and believe) the original (official) version, myself!

grampa Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Earlier in the day I had run into a couple of buddies from high scholo and we drank too much wine. So I was at home horizontal on the couch with our little TV turned on its side soI could see it properly. Being I was in that condition I'm not one who is able to debunk te conspiracy guys on this matter. But even in that condition it was way cool.

STEVIL Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 I would have been about 3 1/2 years old, apparently my parents let me stay up and watch it, although I have no memory of it - what a surprise . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milod Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 1. Gee, you guys are young. <grin> 2. And we're doing what to extend today the steps of mankind beyond increasing our population and figuring how we all can be interconnected in a fun, but Orwellian mode? m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
