Hardbopjazz Posted July 20, 2007 Report Posted July 20, 2007 Man landed on the moon. Who here remembers that day? I remember watching it on TV, and right away I was wondering why there weren't any stars. I was 6 at that time. Quote
7/4 Posted July 20, 2007 Report Posted July 20, 2007 I was 9. My parents got me out of bed to check it out on the TV. Quote
Randy Twizzle Posted July 20, 2007 Report Posted July 20, 2007 I was a moody pain in the ass 13 yr old who took every opportunity to denigrate the achievement, especially in front of my father. This pissed him off to no end, which was probably why I did it. Quote
sidewinder Posted July 20, 2007 Report Posted July 20, 2007 I remember seeing it. I think it was for this one they wheeled the TV out at school so we could all watch it in the assembly hall. Quote
Jazzmoose Posted July 20, 2007 Report Posted July 20, 2007 Yeah, I remember staying up late to watch that. At the last minute, my grandmother came out of her bedroom and caught it as well. Call me a chump, but this was still one of the high points of my life. Which probably explains my animosity to Clementine way back when... Quote
Jazzmoose Posted July 20, 2007 Report Posted July 20, 2007 (work warning) Gotta be the fucking moon clip... Quote
BruceH Posted July 20, 2007 Report Posted July 20, 2007 I was 8. Watched it on TV and found it very exciting. Quote
MoGrubb Posted July 20, 2007 Report Posted July 20, 2007 I was 25. I don't remember if I saw it "live" or on the f*cking news. Quote
Jim R Posted July 20, 2007 Report Posted July 20, 2007 I was 13. It doesn't seem like yesterday. Quote
Chalupa Posted July 20, 2007 Report Posted July 20, 2007 (work warning) Gotta be the fucking moon clip... Yup, that's the same fucking moon clip. Jesus H. Christ in a chicken basket that is one fucking funny clip. Can you fucking believe that happened 38 fucking years ago today?? Holy mother of fuck. Quote
medjuck Posted July 20, 2007 Report Posted July 20, 2007 I was 25 and watching it with Zal Yanofsky. His very yong daughter was there and I remember commenting that this would be common place for her. Shows how smart I am. BTW How many men have walked on the moon? Quote

Eric Posted July 21, 2007 Report Posted July 21, 2007 I was 7 and remember being very excited. I also remember staring at the moon hoping I could somehow see it first-hand! Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted July 21, 2007 Report Posted July 21, 2007 I remember it. I was about 25 and there were other things much more interesting. MG Quote
Van Basten II Posted July 21, 2007 Report Posted July 21, 2007 I was somewhere in my father's genitals, ready to burst out, i did a few months later. Quote

zen archer Posted July 23, 2007 Report Posted July 23, 2007 I was 7 sat with my parents in their bed and watched it on small tv with the rabbit ears on top didn't know whether the bad reception was from the moon or the rabbit ears had to be adjusted ? Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted July 23, 2007 Report Posted July 23, 2007 Ann and I had moved from Chicago to Bloomington, Indiana. We met my parents in Chicago that day to take them to our new place. We all had rooms at a motel around Lincoln and Ashland and watched it on tv. We still have a copy of the Chicago Trib from the next morning. Quote
Chalupa Posted July 23, 2007 Report Posted July 23, 2007 For the past few days I've been working,"Jesus H. Christ in a chicken basket" into all of my conversations. Quote

DukeCity Posted July 23, 2007 Report Posted July 23, 2007 I was only five years old on 7/20/69, and I barely remember watching it. On 7/20/91 I got married for the first time. I tried to talk her into serving Tang and Space Food Sticks at the reception. It was met with a resounding "No". Quote
medjuck Posted July 23, 2007 Report Posted July 23, 2007 How did they get the camera on the ground before they got out? Was it on one of the legs of the spacecraft? Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted July 23, 2007 Report Posted July 23, 2007 How did they get the camera on the ground before they got out? Was it on one of the legs of the spacecraft? What was released was evidently the alt take. MG Quote
