I watched the apollo missions on my parents 50's box b&w.-cant remember the make but might have a old pix of it in the background.- gotta search through the old photo albums someday...
i was 10 at the time and able to fully comprehend the significance on this event.
i was bicycling around the local swimming pool that had the mission live on thier pa.
i heard the landing live and raced home to wait for the walk.i remember it like it was yesterday!
my earliest memory of nasa was apollo 7-closely followed space exploration since then.
at the time,my mom let me watch every mission on that old b&w. my siblings grumbled at the time but years later-they confessed that if it wasnt for my "dominating" the tv during coverage-they woulda missed out-ha!
still follow space programs to this day!
