I was privileged to grow up in the time to witness the space program unfold. It was thrilling, and had a great deal to do with my choice of career. I will never forget sitting in the TV room of my dorm watching the moon landing.
It seems to me like the most exciting chapter in history, so I agree that you were privileged to have lived through it. I asked my dad if he remembered watching it and he doesn’t, which is bizarre. I think he was too bitter from having just been drafted to care much about it.
I live in north Houston area, and take visitors to NASA mainly to see the Saturn V display. Even by today’s standards, it is an amazing display of engineering mastery! Truly an incredible accomplishment.
