Same here! I was 14 years old and was sick with some sort of virus at the time. I remember watching it from my temporary sick bed on the couch with the rest of my family.

Yep, in my mom's belly as well. Lots of us hitting the big 4-0 this year.

I had just turned 6. I know that I watched it (since I watched everything space related), but I don't actually remember it.
It's one of those things that I've seen so many times since that I can't remember the actual event. I wish I could!

I was 11 years old. My mom and I were sitting on the floor of our family room with a tripod and camera. I don't remember who but someone had given out camera settings to get the most out of taking pictures of the landing. I am sure I still have that picture somewhere. Now I have to go look for it to show my kids.

I too was in my Mom's belly, probably warm, but not so cozy since I was sharing the space with my twin brother!!

Add me to the feeling old list...
I was 16 and at work when the Eagle landed. The restaurant was totally dead so my boss let me leave in time to get home before the moon walk started, which was about 11pm Central time IIRC.
Somewhere we have a roll of 8mm film my father shot directly from the TV screen.
Words can't begin to describe the excitement we all felt that day.
35+ trips to WDW since 1985...and it never gets old.

I was 9 and in my PJs watching in the den with my Mom, Dad and little brother. Time would have been about 11 EDT. Right now, I'm listening to real time audio of the entire mission synched to the actual events from 40 years ago from the NASA website. I heard the landing at about 16:15 and I'm looking forward to hearing those famous words at about 22:50.

My dad worked on many of the navigational components used by NASA for the space program, so it was a BIG event in our family. My mom was in the hospital at the time, but I do remember watching it with my dad and my brother. Hard to believe how much time has passed since then.

You're not going to believe this, but it's true. When I first heard the news, I was 19 years....and on my way to Disneyland by car. I don't remember if we did the moon ride there or not, but we must have....

I was 10 days old. My dad held me up to the TV so I could "watch" them walk on the moon. (He reminds me of this quite often.) Yep, lots of us getting to the top of that "hill" this year!!!

At the sound of his roar, sorrows will be no more,
When he bares his teeth, winter meets its death,
And when he shakes his mane, we shall have spring again.

I was 15, and for me this was an incredibly event. My dad (who just passed away in May) was a master machinist in the aerospace industry in LA and personally manufactured the valve assemblies that regulated the flow of fuel to those giant engines that lifted the Saturn V rockets into space. (Remember, this was all done by hand - no computer-aided manufacturing back then)
Anyway, I spent that Sunday at a pool party but we mostly watched the news coverage of the landing. I got home in time to watch the actual decent from the Lunar Lander and Neil Armstrong's first steps. I remember it very clearly, even though the TV transmission wasn't very clear.
To commemorate the day, I broke out my actual LA Times front page copies today and looked them over again. (They're laminated and rarely see the light of day).
Lots of memories tied up in this event.

I think that's very fitting on this board. I was only 4 and don't remember.

Dang! Once again it looks like I'm winning the oldest old lady in Intercotland again. I was a young mother of 2 little boys and we had spent the morning at the beach but left for home early to watch the walk on the moon. Delayed, delayed was the order of the day and we kept pushing dinner time back as we didn't want to miss a minute of the action. We kept snacking on chips, fruit and ice cream and never did eat dinner that night. Oh, the excitement of sitting in front of a dinky black and white TV and seeing what seemed a miracle. My DH was also in the industry that made parts for the rockets that launched the capsules.

I don't remember where I was -may have been at Girl Scout camp - I was around 14.
One thing I do remember-I was in a local cast of Up With People and one of the lines to a song we sang at every show was "...and we have almost landed on the moon...." We had to change the words to "....and we HAVE landed on the moon..." and I thought that was really cool!

Where were you & what were you doing??
Well, believe it or not, we were on our way home from a family vacation to Vancouver, BC (with stops in Nobleford AB to visit more family, and other points). We were driving through Minnesota and stopped in a diner for lunch just in time to see Neil Armstrong step off the LM. I remember it was raining.
Officially too many trips to list here!
