I was 12 and away at summer camp then and we all piled into an auditorium to watch the launch (and landing) on tv, wishing I could have been there in person to see it.

The Apollo 11 CNN documentary is excellent, I've seen it 4 times already and catch some small detail I missed each time. I especially like the audio clip during LEM descent "1202 alarm ... we're go on that flight ... if it doens't reoccur we'll be go". Of course it does occur again.

listen to audio -- make sure you've got stero speakers -- at 2:20 was even clearer in the film.

I like Gene Kranz's "ok, keep the chatter down in this room." He was "de man."
