I watched it as a 6 year old. However, with all the rocket stuff that was shown on TV at the time, I didn't understand that it was the very first time for a moonwalk. So the significance of the moment was lost on me at the time.
Watched it on our family's 21" Motorola rectangular screen color TV, which was our first color TV and just a year or so old at the time.
I'm still in awe of what NASA pulled off from a technical point of view. In a period of only 10 years or so, they went from relatively primitive rocket technology to putting a man on the moon, without all of the fancy computer technology that we have today (I realize they had computers, but they were quite limited). Something to be very proud of.
