I flew down to Florida and covered the liftoff for the Apollo 11 moon lander. Since no news orgs were sent to the moon for the landing, I covered it like everyone else: NASA via our news operation in NYC. I just rolled tapes on the NASA feed 24 hours a day; I was a tech. :^)
Your Apollo 11 experience is awesome.
I was 10 years old. Watched the landing on a color TV, but if I remember, the video from the moon was crude and in B&W. Still....
“One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind”.

:) Wiseguy.
Must have been so exciting for you.
Have you ever seen the Australian movie The Dish (2000)?
My favorite quote about the moon landing being fake was that Stanley Kubrick was the one who filmed the fake moon landing, but he was such a perfectionist he did it on location.
