Where were you? I was in the day room of the Bachelor Officers' Quarters at Laredo AFB, just starting flight training when Neil Armstrong fumbled his line.
I may be a bit crazy - but I didn't drive myself.

J M Fields department store watching on the many color tv's they had. Don
I don't remember that date at all.
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
Sitting in my parents living room watching on one of them new fangled color t.v.s. Luckily it was on all of the 3 channels we could get. Well, we couldn't get them that good because I wondered why it was snowing on the moon.😀 Bob
Still watching black and white.
I was in the lunchroom at work watching a small tv that someone had brought to work.
There's a program on PBS today about the flight.
Probably taking a nap in Kindergarten class. I was 6
I was camping with my family up in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. A place called Deer Park on Lake Superior and Muskellunge Lake. I watched the moon landing on a tiny screen B&W battery powered TV down a few campsites from ours.
Me too.

The video from the moon was actually in pretty high definition, but it was in a format that broadcast TV couldn't use, much to their horror as they didn't discover it until the event was happening. When they ran it through a converter box, it came out looking as we saw it.
I watched it on TV.My dad brought home a Snapper mower that day. I still have it under the shed.
I was at my parents house watching it on TV (lucky enough to have color TV) although that didn't seem to matter much.
With my Dad watching on a black and white TV. He couldn't quite believe what he was seeing.
just started basic training at Fort Campbell Ky.
At home watching it on TV. I was 14
I was an aircraft electrician on the flight line at RAF Lakenheath in the UK. The Limeys started to park outside the base fence and began honking their horns..
I was 12 yrs old
I Remember it slightly watched on a B&W TV like most also it was as a big deal
My dad never thought it happened and was faked like a movie when he passed he still held that thought .I had stopped talking about it many years before just so confortation lol
Vicinity of LZ Oasis, RVN.
Didn't have access to a TV.
I was aboard USS Nautilus SSN- 571...TV reception isn't too good under water....

you are going to need a bigger antenna.
Our younger generations don't believe this happened.
No Idea, I had recently turned 8 years old.
July 20, 1969: The Apollo 11 spaceflight landed on the Moon at 20:17. Approximately 7 hours later, on July 21st, Neil Armstrong and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin, 33° (pictured) became the first people to set foot on the lunar surface. Aldrin carried a small Scottish Rite flag with him, tucked inside his space suit.

Lots of people back then did not believe it happened. (fake news just like lots of todays fake news)
Was my 12th Bday. My brother, father and I had wrapped up putting in a nice inground pool, that Spring. That day I was raking and spreading soil and/or putting in grass seed. I am sure we had a cake later after work hours.
It was a hot day in Ventura County and I was probably loading a Mayflower van for a local move And DAMN Glad to be outa Vietnam.
Best Regards - AQH
That's not a moon pie. This is a Moon Pie.

I was born on that date, again🤔
I was not even a thought yet
I was 3-1/2 years old. I was probably eating Graham crackers, drinking chocolate milk and watching cartoons.
