I was watching this in the bottom floor of our house in Subic Bay in the Philippines, but I have a memory of it being a blazing hot sunny day, and a bunch of us watching it on a small black and white TV, and the screen looked like a white smear moving around on various parts of the black background...

Funny, I was trying to match up the time, and it was saying that the moon landing took place at 3:17 PM Eastern Time, and when I thought about it, I thought “Crap. My memory must be SOOO screwed up! I VIVIDLY remember the hot sun outside, but...it would have been 03:17 AM...that cannot be right! My brain is fried! Aggghhhh!”

Then I remembered the LANDING was at 3:17 PM ET, but they didn’t do the moon walk until six hours later (or something like that) so it would have been 10:00 AM my time in the Philippines!

Whew!
