I was 2 years old on 20 July 1969, so sadly I don't remember the first one but at 5 and a half years old for Apollo 17 and part of a family that tended to watch the evening news every night, I'm confident I recall seeing one or more of the later Apollo missions and do remember watching some "live" footage of the Luna surface....sadly, due to this regular TV evening feast, by the end of Apollo, I also remember having watched many regular distressing scenes out of Vietnam as well and recall the reports about the ending of that conflict and even as a little boy, thinking "gee I'm glad that's over!" as it seemed to have been going on my whole life!
