I watched the moon landing on a then-new 9" B&W Sony...I remember it as being HOT, we didn't have A/C in our house then...I was 12, I never got into the "Space Race" as bad as a lot of kids did. I remember back then, any time they shot a rocket off, ALL regular TV was shut off all day, & they had interviews w/seemingly everyone at NASA above the level of janitor...Now, the shuttle being launched MIGHT rate what, 5 minutes, unless it blows up or something...
