Not moon landing but moon eclipsing the sun in October 1959 as photographed off my parents' Philips projection set at the time. As you can see it had poor flyback blanking and non-existent dc restoration.

A 23 inch B/W set in the USO club in a little outpost in South Korea. Don't know the brand. Very noisy pic due to distance between TV and the AFRTS transmitter in Seoul, but great anyway. Celebrated with a few JDs and beers later at the Officer/EM Club.

I'm far too young to have seen it live, but my parents remember. On my mother's side of the family, they recall having a color tv with a smallish screen and watching big events such as the moon landing on it. They apparently used a b&w console tv for everyday viewing, to preserve the color set. I imagine not all programming was in color in the 60s anyway

I believe my parents were still using their trusty old 21-inch B/W RCA set, seen in this photo from the early 1950s (that's me on the left).

I was in a Holiday Inn motel room with my whole family, somewhere in Nebraska. I was 9 years old and we were on our way to a summer vacation out west. There was a color set in the room, which was a rare treat for us since we didn't get our first color set until 1975 (a metal case Zenith 25" Chromacolor II). I remember being very disappointed that the moon landing was in black and white...

By July 1969, All new network programming was in color. Although the moon landing was in b&w due to the available NASA technology. I remember, so well, watching the moon landing & walk on our '68 RCA rectangular color set. What a proud moment for the U.S. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_3vVjyqkwrw

I was in the army and stationed at Blanding, UT. We went over to one of the sergeant's trailers and watched it on a black and white portable. I have no idea what brand or size it was except for maybe 17-19".

It was watched by my family on a CTC-7. I don't remember if I saw any of it live or not as I was only 6 weeks old.

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! how many have seen iss "live" over their skys? checkout these links if you wish. http://spotthestation.nasa.gov/sightings/#.U8kUl7yYNok watch iss video live http://www.ustream.tv/channel/live-iss-stream cheers RonL

I can't actually remember what set I saw it on, but I know it has to be a 1966 vintage Motorola 20 inch rectangular hybrid color table model with the walnut-pattern-vinyl covered metal cabinet, because that is what I bought from employee sales in 1966. The picture would gradually get dimmer over a year or so, then you would replace the tubes in the horizontal sweep section & it would brighten up for another year.

I was in my twenties and just finishing a year in Spain. My parents came over for a tour of Europe with me. We were in a little hotel room in Biarritz, France, in the middle of the afternoon, with no TV, but we listened to the landing from VOA shortwave on my Space Master Plata portable radio. I remember that evening looking at the moon and thinking how it had men up there. Still got the radio and it works fine.

I remember it seemed like all the air went out of the Space Program after Apollo 11... They followed the Moon landings up with.... Skylab ?!? Really ?!? Apollo 13 was fairly interesting, because of the potential danger involved but the rest of it was kinda all so "Ho-Hum".. By '72, when Apollo was over, nobody much cared about "Space" anymore.
