Frozen H20 Guy
I wasn't around then.
But I'm trying to think about that undertaking. My earliest memories the first TV we had was black and white and had a turn dial for 13 (most of them static) channels plus UHF. Rotary phones were the norm. Cars will ALL standard shift, center console or on the tree. Computers only existed in a few remote LARGE rooms around the country and their screens were either all black, or green text.. And all of this was 10 years AFTER America pulled together to try to send 2 afoot onto another celestial object, AND bring them back, safely.
My phone probably has more computing power than all the computers used to pull of this historic feat.
I can't imagine watching the images of the launch, 3 days later, and the return.
I'm not sure mankind has done anything since that holds a candle to that incredible achievement (risk) which was successful.
'MURICA!!!!!
