My earliest memory is watching the moon landing. We watched in my sister's room, as she had the newest (B&W) TV in the house. As of today I have 45 years of memories as In Focus shows 45 Years Ago We Landed Men on the Moon
"Tomorrow will mark the 45th anniversary of the July 16, 1969 launch of Apollo 11, the NASA mission that first landed human beings on the Moon. Years of effort, dangerous experiments, and bold missions led up to the Moon landing, an event watched on live television by millions around the world. Astronauts Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins, and Edwin 'Buzz' E. Aldrin left the Earth on a Wednesday, landed on the Moon on that Sunday, spent a bit more than two hours walking on its surface, deploying experiments and collecting samples, then splashed down safely in the Pacific Ocean the following Thursday, after 8 days off-planet. Collected here are 45 images of that historic mission, a 'giant leap for mankind,' 45 years ago. [45 photos]"
Lots of a famous pictures you know, and many I didn't.
