valerie Inshan Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Astronaut Neil Armstrong just passed away. Question to all of those who were born in these ancient times (:D) do you remember the event? Where were you and what where you doing when Armstrong put his feet on the moon? I personally remember my Dad waiking me me up in the middle of the night (I think it was around 3 AM in France) to watch this moment live. Lol, I'm just hoping I'm not the only one being old enough here to have such memories!!!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyalGuardMedi Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Did he actually? Such a shame. I was imagening my children having him share his experiences with them in class. However the 70's are growing further away then my mind thinks. I am waaaay to young to have lived it, but it sure must've been euphoric! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

valerie Inshan Posted August 26, 2012 Author Share Posted August 26, 2012 This pic is not remasterized. I have a very accurate remembrance of this photo on the front cover of a well know French magazine. I remember very well being amazed by the quality of the photograph. The live video was indeed greyish and blurred, but not the stillshots. It's amazing how little the art of photography has evolved over the past 50 years (and even way back) despite the digital technologies. 0000 and 11111 are not so much a great progress compared to good old silver film... :smileyhappy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staralien Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 I remember watching it. It was the day after my eleventh birthday and it was amazing. I was in a small town in Oklahoma as my dad was still in Korea. My dad never beleived they went to the moon...but he didn't beleive in dinosaurs either cause the Bible never mentions them. Shakes head. I don't care if this dates me...I am better than ever and my life is the best! Star Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Six Igaly Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 I do remember this. This was the reason for my parents to finally buy a (second hand) TV, their very first! This shows how spectacular it was (or expected to be at least) I guess. And yes Valerie, my parents woke me up as well that specific night, a couple of weeks before my ninth birthday :smileyvery-happy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kylie Jaxxon Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Awww...hugs back to you I know some of you can't relate, not being from the US, but that was a time when we showed and felt our patriotism, still sang the national anthem in the theatres, etc. It was indeed a proud moment for all of humanity, but also for us americans...things kind of went downhill from there in the decades to follow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the family watching the TV, and my mother waking the brothers for to see the moment of the man in the moon. And then chocolate and biscuits. As a party Edited for typo: p years, no 9 tears LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenbro Utu Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 I was about 2 weeks shy of being 12. It sure made a difference in the way you looked at the moon in the night sky from then on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amethyst Jetaime Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 I vividly remember watching it. My whole family watched it together. In fact it was the ONLY time we were allowed to have food in front of the TV growing up so we wouldn't miss a second of it. It was a HUGE event. My dad even set up two cameras, one in front of our tv to record the actual event and another of the us watching it to record our amazement. :matte-motes-agape: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
