I remember it. It was around 10:00 pm where we were living.
My dad was home and had borrowed a TV.
He kept us up as the newman kept saying.
"Any minute now we will be receiving the feed from the Moon".
The transmissions took something like 45 minutes to reach earth.
I was kept awake for the moment because we landed on the moon on my 5th birthday. July 20th, 1969.
I was given a $5.00 bill for my birthday....
That was a long time ago...
