I was 7. It was way past my normal bedtime. My mom, brother and I went to a neighbor's apartment to see it on their B&W(?) TV. It was very grainy, but a thrilling sight.

I ate up the National Geographic articles on the space program during the 1960s and early 1970s. Fabulous pictures and lots of statistics. It was a heady time... <sigh>

Cheers,
Scott.
