Apollo 11 was launched on July 16, 1969. The spacecraft — carrying astronauts Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins and Edward "Buzz" Aldrin — blasted off into space from Cape Kennedy, Fla., to become the first space mission to put people on the Moon.

Graduated from high school 2 months before and was working at a summer job but kept track the whole time. It was a great time.

I was 9 and I remember it.

I was in my fifth month of my first tour in Nam.

So back then we could talk to someone 93 million miles away and today's technology we drop calls 93 miles away. Ok yea got it.

I was at Vandergriff Combat Base,Quang Tri Province. Heard about it but had other things to occupy my mind.

I was on my second tour in Vietnam and that news kind of seemed not all that important at the time!
To be fair, I was a short timer with only a couple of months left and my mind was on getting back to the world alive, and in one piece!

Allegedly.

That place was a mess, including the A Shau Valley

Scary times back then Lindy, I hope you’re doing well

YEP !!!!! I was recovering from a helo crash where i was pinned under the damned thing, rolled over on me.So i could go home on leave on the 28th. Then back to Nam.

I remember it like it was yesterday! Now I cant remember what I did……..YESTERDAY! dangit

Summer between 7th and 8th grade.

12 years before I was born

You're mixing up the distance to the Sun with the moon, which is 250k miles away but your point is still valid.
