I was 9

Parent's were rabid anti-TV. Bought one special for the event.

I saw the launch in person. I can still remember the throbbing air when the sound hit. The crowd chanting "GO GO GO". I also remember falling off a big cement tube into stinky water, ruining a nice multi-color notebook and cutting myself on barnacles, a few minutes before the launch.
