Primary school, year 7. For us it was around midday, I got to stay
home for the landing and the "one small step..." but then had to go back
to school.


Must admit, one of the benefits of being middle-aged is that I was watching
moments like these - that to my kids are like ancient history.


Perversely, I'm much more moved by Apollo 8's Christmas Eve sojourn at the
back end of the moon. We were watching the telecast - more concerned
with the following morning and my father telling us "pay attention you
*******s, this is history happening"
