My mother got me to watch the moon mission. She said it was history we were watching. I am glad I saw it and am thankful my mother had the foresight to make us watch it.
From the article:
"In 1961, President John F. Kennedy declared “we shall send to the moon, 240,000 miles away from the control station in Houston, a giant rocket… before this decade is out.” On July 16, 1969, Apollo 11 was launched by a Saturn V rocket from Kennedy Space Center. "

The Summer of 1969 I remember watching the moon landing. I may have only been four but I remember the launch and landing it really was an historic event! I can't help think of my Grandfather who in one lifetime went from the horse and buggy to man landing on the moon or flying in the space shuttle!

I saw a lot of launches from '65 onward growing up in Akron. When I moved to Daytona, I could see every shuttle launch fly over. It was even more beautiful at night with the rocket fuel glowing.
