40th Anniversary of the First Lunar Landing

[syscom3]

July 20th 1969, 10:56pm EDT, July 20, the first moon walk occured.

Anyone have memories of that day?

I was 9 years old. A hot and humid day in Minneapolis. When the moonwalk took place, I remember our neighbors coming over to watch it with us.

And I do remember it was CBS and Walter Cronkite we watched.

I was 10 and watched it with my family and a friend in Nova Scotia.

Do you remember the newspaper headline the day after?

Onion Store > Holy Shit Man Walks On Fucking Moon (1969)

I will never forget that night, but for other reasons. My Uncle Jack was murdered that night. It's still sad to see the moonwalk replayed because of painful family memories.
