>...those of us who are old enough - where were you when the Eagle landed? Just wondering - channel 4 here in the UK is running a 'live' re-run of the landing (www.channel4.com has details) which I'm waiting to start.

>I was eight years old and my father woke me (at 2:30 a.m.) to watch the landing. Still remember the ghostly b&w pictures [beep].

I was camping at the seaside in Croatia with my parents (I was 14 then), and there was no single TV in the whole camp, and we heard it through a tiny transistor. I just remember the yells which spread through the camp (there were about 3000 people there). Must have been about just-after-breakfast time, so only 15 minutes later, when the broadcast was finished, we just went swimming. But then, I was swallowing newspaper for days after that.
