I was only 7-1/2 years old when Apollo 11 launched. I remember dad setting up the TV and spending some time fine tuning the antenna to get the clearest picture. He was very excited and placed a great deal of importance on that occasion. Even if I didn't fully understand it's importance then I had to see it and I so remember this image flickering in front of me on our TV.

I never missed a mission to the moon.

I went to Kennedy Space Center in the late 70's. The Saturn V was displayed outside then but as part of the tour we got to go inside the Vehicle Assembly Building & the control center. Didn't seem like there was much too the tour. But I remember that Saturn V was freaking huge.
