From the Earth to the Moon (2019): Moon Landing (Clip) | HBO

Jesse we need to land on the moon, Jesse.

A mere 65 1/2 years from Kitty Hawk to Tranquility Base. When you think of the thousands of principles, facts and things that had to be discovered, invented, tested and perfected in that tiny space of time, it's all a miracle.

My dad woke me up 15 minutes before they landed to watch it. I was almost six years old. It was a thrill to watch. I have been a big Apollo fan since. This was such an excellent series to watch. It’s a shame that most of humanity did not care about any of the further Apollo flights other than 13 after the oxygen tank blew up. Even during the J missions when they were driving on the moon, most of humanity never cared. Crazy. Apollo 11 was representative of humanity’s greatest binding moments Apollo in general was the pinnacle of humanity’s technological achievements.

The reason for the 1202/1201 alarms is that Buzz Aldrin left the rendezvous radar on, so they could quickly locate the CSM, in case they needed to abort. This overloaded the computer, causing the alarms.

In 2019 Gene Krantz came to Denver for a special appearance. There were about 400-500 people in attendance. As he came on stage he got a standing ovation for about 5 minutes and finally he had enough of it and looked sternly at the crowd and told us all to just sit down......NOW! All 400-500 people stopped clapping and sat down immediately. What a commanding presence to this day.

I was 9 yrs old at the time watching it on TV with my late father. I'll never forget this day no matter how long I live. After Armstrong's ," Houston. Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed," Dad and I shook hands, laughed with joy and hugged. An amazing moment!

I always knew Walt could do something special if he applied himself

I still to this day don't think people understand how Incredible this truly was.

That's one small step for a man ...... A giant leap for a mankind Best statement ever

the best part: Bryan Cranston and Tony Goldwyn are acting in a GENUINE Lunar Module; LM-13 was partially complete and was going to fly on Apollo 18 but never did when the program was cancelled. fortunately, it was never scrapped and was used for the series. you can see LM-13 fully restored and on display at the Cradle of Aviation Museum in Long Island, NY.

I was 17 when these events took place. I was sitting in the living room with my Mother and sister along with an Aunt and Uncle and 3 cousins. They were at our house because we were the only members of the family with a colour television. When they landed, my family all cheered but I didn't. I just sat quietly and thought to myself, I will remember this day for the rest of my life. I'm 69 now and I still remember that day with clarity. It was the day we told the universe we are here on our little rock.

Many people do not know this but Neil and Buzz left a lot of commerative items behind on the moon and one was the official patch of the Apollo 1 crew who died in that horrible tragic fire. They were supposed to be the first crew to go to the moon. Let us never forget the bravery of Virgil I. 'GUS' Grissom who was the second man into space aboard Liberty Bell 7, and command pilot for Gemini 3. Let us not forget Edward Higgens White II who was aboard Gemini 4 and who was the first American to walk in Space. And let us not forget Roger Bruce Chaffee, naval officer, aviator and aeronautical engineer for NASA.

Still get goosebumps watching this. I was 14 in 1969.....and a complete space nerd.

I was 16 years old on a school camping trip in the Boundary Waters area of Minnesota on July 20, 1969. We had a transistor radio with us and it was a full moon while we listened to the voice of Neil Armstrong. A time I will never forget as long as I live.

I was 24 years old teaching Science at Usi -Ekiti, Western State of Nigeria during the landing, listening to BBC World Service..... A magical experience And a magnificent American achievement.

Jesse! I AM ON THE MOON JESSE

In 1977 When I started my new job at Ford Motor Company I purposely moved to Franklin Road in Lebanon, Ohio to be Neil Armstrong's neighbor.

I was a week short of my 10th birthday, watching it with my parents, we were visiting their friends' house, and I had to beg my parents to ask them to watch. Mom and Dad didn't want to, it wasn't important to them but I persuaded them that it was history and their friends had no problem, so we all watched. I was glued to the screen, and they'd every so often asked a question, since I was the "space nut" of the family, I had been following the space program since I was able to read. It was so exciting I practically passed out.

My father was a young man when the Wright Brother first flew at Kitty Hawk. I was 30 when man first stepped onto the moon. Can you imagine looking up to see the entirety of the Earth?

What a glorious time to be alive to witness this monumental event live on TV. The very moment that a moon landing was no longer science fiction.
