I'm almost 54 and my mom propped me in front of the TV for launches starting with Alan Shepard. Neil was the culmination of everything I had lived, breathed, and slept for the first 11 years of my life. RIP Neil Armstrong indeed.
altspeed my folks kept us awake for them all, b/w TV as you know, can't remember any of them other than watching them. Yup I was in hyper astronaut mode for ever.:biggrin:
