I was 11 and watching it at home with my Mom and brothers. I remember seeing it and hearing people say it was staged in Hollywood. LOL

We were on Home Leave and watched it in my Aunt's basement with the rest of the family. It was a big deal.

I thought I remembered seeing this in school (they wheeled the TV into the classroom) but with everyone's answer of being at home in front of the TV I think I'm mistaken.

Hmmmmmm...why would I have that false memory?

What day and time of day did it actually air? I gotta figure out where I was!

I take pride in remembering my childhood...way back to an incident when I was 1y/o. I related something to my mom once and she was surprised to realize I was remembering something when I was only a year old.

This throws a wrench into the mix for me!

Watching the thing on the B & W TV. And comparing it to some of the stuff from some kids' books about how people would someday go to the moon.

I don't think you were at school in July or on a Sunday, Lixy.

I remember it was about 22:00 (EDT) on a weekend evening and we had been glued to the tube for hours, but I did have to look up if it was a Saturday or a Sunday.


"...At 2:56 UTC on July 21, Armstrong made his descent to the Moon's surface and spoke his famous line "That's one small step for (a) man, one giant leap for mankind" exactly six and a half hours after landing..."

OK...so I was 11 y/o when Apollo 11 landed. You'd think that if I could remember something from when I was 1 y/o that I would remember wtf I was doing when I was 11 and everyone else on the planet was watching TV!!! Maybe I was out looting or something...lmfao! Oh shoot...another missed opportunity!

Anyway...your PM cleared up what it was we watched in school. You are right in that it was the assassination of JFK. TY for your help hun!
