Armstrong walked on the moon!!

[DGUtley]

At 10:56 p.m. EDT, 7/20/1969 — 49 years ago today. American astronaut Neil Armstrong, 240,000 miles from Earth, speaks these words to more than a billion people listening at home: "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind." Stepping off the lunar landing module Eagle, Armstrong became the first human to walk on the moon!

To this day, I remember where I was and what I was doing.

It was a great day in the very early seventies when the teacher gave all us kindergartners the day off to watch the TV and draw pictures of what we witnessed off the live feed of spacemen doing spacemen things.

I watched it as it was happening 3 generations, my fathers father, my father and me.

My grandfather refused to believe it was real

I remember it was a warm, sunny afternoon, the door was open (no ac), and everyone's eyes were glued to the TV set.
