Yeah, I too thought you were a couple of years younger than me but you’re almost ten years older.
The moon landing is one of the main historical events I wish I’d been around to see. While I was a kid and we even had a TV for some of the last few landings, I don’t remember watching any of them.

I remember having similar feelings regarding remembrance day when I was in early primary school. I had no idea about either world war or what it was we were supposed to be observing.

I was made to watch Winston Churchill’s funeral at the same age, and like you I don’t remember a thing about it. Too young to understand what was going on or know who Winston Churchill was.

Actually surprised to find you’re that much older than me, Tim!

I was 4 when I watched the Moon landing. Well, I’ve been told I watched it but I have no memory of it at all

Quite so.

I too know where I watched that great adventure live on TV.

Mind you, by that point I had punched my first paper tape and was quite hooked on technology.
