I was at home watching it on a Heathkit color TV that I just finished 
assembling two days before.  The excuse for buying
the kit was to watch the moon landing -- which was in 
black-and-white!  The tube kit was on sale because Heathkit had
recently introduced their transistorized model.  Worked great for 
several years, generating Healey quantities of heat.

I grew up on science fiction and was excited about us finally going 
to the moon -- but I was just blown away watching it
happen real-time!  Incredible achievement, perhaps only passed by the 
effort that saved the Apollo 13 astronauts!!
