Wow, that would be cool to see. Especially with some really good Binoculars or a Telescope.

We moved to Houston in July 1969 just in time for an 8 year old Kid to see the Apollo 11 launch and follow through the Lunar Landing and The Eagle blast off the Moon to rendezvous with Columbia. We only had a B&W TV and one of our new neighbors let Mom and I watch the Eagle blast off on their Color TV. I remember the rocket blast sending dust flying and it was all different colors due to light refraction.

The Lunar takeoff was the Greatest, Coolest and Most Awesome Birthday Present I ever had. I turned 8 on the 21^st.

I’m a few months older than you. I remember that they’d have a TV in the classroom for some of the big Apollo moments. Never any concerns about what might happen if our fragile little psyches witnessed a disaster, so far as I knew. Today’s Antifa punks would have been about 5 on 9-11-2001. Different worlds.

Hmmmm...I’m sorry about the formatting gibberish. Cut and pasted this from a response to an incorrect post. Seems to affect this sentence, too. Wonder if it has to do with the ‘FR migration.”
