On July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin became the first astronauts to land on the Moon. After a day spent exploring the Moon's surface, the two members of the Apollo 11 mission returned to Earth. It has been estimated that 500 million people across the world watched the video broadcast of the Moon landing. I was only very little at the time and we didn’t even own a TV set but I remember clearly those first black & white images on our neighbors’ TV and those foreign words (to me at least at the time) that Armstrong pronounced when he first set foot on the Moon. Since then the Moon has become a great passion of mine and will always be.
Where were you that day (if you are at least as old as I am) and what can you still remember?
