"Neil Armstrong was supposed to be asleep. The moonwalking was done. The moon rocks were stowed away. His ship was ready for departure. In just a few hours, the Eagle's ascent module would blast off the Moon, something no ship had ever done before, and Neil needed his wits about him. He curled up on the Eagle's engine cover and closed his eyes.

But he could not sleep.

Neither could Buzz Aldrin. In the cramped lander, Buzz had the sweet spot, the floor. He stretched out as much as he could in his spacesuit and closed his eyes. Nothing happened. On a day like this, sleep was out of the question."

We were at our cottage on Lake Simcoe, not too far from where I live right now. I remember watching it on the TV. I was only 9 yrs old. well not quite. Back then I was 8 years and 10 months and 20 days to be exact. What a great memory. Thanks CW

I watched it on television with the other four members of our college quartet, at the apartment of Mt. Vernon's music instructor Linda Henderson, in Columbus, Ohio. We left there kinda wondering how it would change the world. Still wonder, sometimes.

I remember it well. I was glued to the TV.
Two years later, July 20, 1971, my son was born!

Dwayne and I remember that day very well. We watched it on TV.
It was after coming on Naznet, that I learned about the murder.

I was watching it at home!!!!

My dad bought me everything to do with the NASA projects.

I still have the book - to the Moon and Back, that he got at the Shell Gas Station.

It was 19 days short of 8 yrs old!!!
