Where were you during the Apollo 11 Landing

I was 11 years old up at Camp Echo Lark in Poyntelle, Pennsylvania. A kid in the next bunk his parents had brought up a portable TV and we all crowded around it to see the moon landing.



The kid that had the TV was in the first bunk on the left and there must of been about 30 of us there trying to watch the moon landing on a small portable TV

 

I wish I'd been around...............I wasn't born quite yet.

All the coverage the past couple days has been great.

 

Hush Young one! :mrgreen:

 

Not around yet

 

I was lyining the floor of our livingroom watching the grainy transmission and listening to Cronkite.

 

At my parents friends house in Penn Yan NY watching on a round screen black and white TV with rabbit ears. My Dad took Polaroid pictures of the TV screen.

 

when was it, 1969? I was 9 yrs old - I vaguely remember it. :?

 

I wasn't born yet, but if I was I would have been about 6 years old. 8)

 

not born yet

 

I was only 11 mo. old, its been neat watching the coverage and stuff on it, especially the Walter Cronkite commentaries.

 

I was one month prior to being born. My mother tells me that she remembers sitting there thinking that I would never know life before man walked on the moon.

 

I wasn't on the scene yet either. Heard it was groovy, though.

 

I was 8 and remember it well. We all gathered around our black and white tv to watch and listen. After that we loved the space food sticks by Pillsbury that came out and pretended to be astronauts when we ate them! Check out this original commercial for them! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KPZ8HHRR1A0

 

I still dont think we went.

But i was about 5 when we supposedly went.

 

I wasn't born yet.

A buddy and I had just got back from cutting trees to raise the money for Woodstock tickets. We watched the broadcast with his family.

 

I've been reading quite a bit about the supposed "hoax" and I just don't think you could keep that many people quiet.

What makes you think it was a hoax? Other than the things that have been debunked repeatedly like the flag waving and the footprints.

 

You know it probably wouldn't have been that hard to stage, but as kdc stated, it would be mighty hard to keep that many people quiet. Plus, consider the pride and details that the astronauts that actually walked on the moon display even today. It would be tough having live 37-40 years knowing your greatest accomplishment had all been a lie. I saw a news story on TV about one of the Apollo astronauts who took up painting moonscapes after his lunar visit. How could a person keep up the interests of such a hobby having not actually lived it?

 

I was actually there. I worked as a janitor on the backlot where the whole thang was staged. Took me six hours to sweep up all that moon sand. To top it all off, they tried to pay me with a years supply of Tang.

Okay, I lied... I wasn't even born then. I just wanted some kind of story to chime in with.
