    The online launch was really quite breathtaking, made me feel very nolstalgic.

      I agree.

      As I said in the article, the JFK library and AOL outdid themselves with this tribute website.

    At the time of the landing I was nine years old. We were on a family vacation in Riding Mountain National Park in Manitoba, Canada. The hotel we were in had tvs in all room but they were black and white. There was only one colour tv, in the lobby of the main hotel. Usually, all the kids were out and about at that time, trying to avoid the inevitable “time to come in” message from our moms. But on that night, I don’t recall anyone outside. EVERYONE, or so it seemed, was watching the tv. I can’t recall how many people were crowded into the lounge, but it was a lot. When Armstrong set foot on the moon, numerous cameras (may dad’s included) went off flooding the room with flashes. I’m sure they all turned out like my dad’s – a great picture of the TV set. I remember every thing about that moment and I have told my kids and students about it but they cannot feel the same way.

      That’s really fascinating.

      Hopefully some more people will share their memories of Neil Armstrong’s historic lunar walk.
