I was recently honorably discharged from the USAF, sitting in my Father’s apartment with two boyhood friends. My buddies and I had all been science fiction fans, members of the Young Rocketeer’s Society. There wasn’t a dry eye in the house. If you didn’t experience the moment, you can’t possibly understand its impact. Many of us thought that was day 1, year 1.
You have evoked an incredibly important memory. Thank you.

I was listening to it on the radio in the Vic Hotel in Darwin. Darwin didn't have TV in those days. When the message "Houston, Tranquility Base, the Eagle has landed" came over the radio, the publican shouted the bar.

I was home with my parents and there friends watching it on the black and white TV, I was fixing the rabbit ears. For those of you who do not know what rabbit ears are. You were not around to watch TV.

I was glued to the TV (like billions of others), age 13, listening to Walter Cronkite and Houston announcing history. Wow!

I remember watching on TV at home. I was glued to the set the whole time. The video quality wasn't that great but it was an incredible thrill.

In the nothingness we long to understand.
In other words, I wasn't born yet.
