"Houston, Tranquility Base here.
The Eagle has landed."

Being about 5, I remember watching it on a Heathkit TV my dad just built.  No cabinet, all exposed - it was too cool.  Mind you to a 5 yr old, everything was too cool.

Today is the anniversary of the launch.

Here you can buy Life mag from the day. Deja vous could happen if you're old enough. What an intense time in history.

I was nine.

Where were you when they landed?

I was in Westport NY at a summer camp... There was a B&W TV that half the camp huddled around.  I was in close and saw the entire thing... I was 10.
