Yep. I remember meeting many of the astronauts when i was growing up. And lots and lots of school tours of NASA.

I remember watching the landing. I was 5, but I knew it was A Big Deal. For years afterwards, I wanted to be an astronaut.

I listened to it on the radio when I was 13, sitting outside looking at the moon. I was at an army camp where I was taking a 6 week course.

We were in high school, my friends and I stayed up for hours watching it. Too bad we couldn't follow through with policy the way it was planned/predicted.

The biggest thing in my childhood. I was nine when they landed. Combine this with late night TV sci-fi films from the fifties, (UHF channels that barely got reception mind you) Auroura model kits, Airfix and Marx figures, and a heavy dose of war films and WW2 TV shows and its no wonder I am who I am… We were all going to be living on Mars or the Moon by 2001. We got the internet instead… Hard to imagine that the only way for an American to get to space in 2012 would be by flying on the Russian craft parallel to the Apollo…

I was 3 or 4 and can remember seeing it on tv – my parents let me stay up late to see it. My wife was 1 or 2 and remembers her mom taking here out into the yard, pointing up at the moon and telling there were men standing on it.

Just 6 years old then(during the Apollo 11 mission),and I was awed by it.

It was late night on the East Coast when Armstrong took his first step. I remember that, even though America was armpit-deep in Vietnam at the moment, a thrill went through the world, sharing something that was incredibly unique. It was a moment we all paused and wondered at. The site is marked by the descent stage of the LM which bears a plaque: "Here Men From The Planet Earth First Set Foot Upon the Moon, July 1969 A.D. We Came in Peace For All Mankind." Even now, I still get a little teary when I think about it.
