I was well and truly at work. Someone had brought in a small TV and we all sat in a meeting room adjacent to the canteen and watched it all happen.
I remember thinking at the time of my dad and how he would take it. He was born in 1897 and the technological progress that had been made in his lifetime must have been beyond belief. Up until a few years before that time, he believed it wasn't possible. As the technology developed and Sputniks became the go, he accepted that to get to the moon was possible but getting back just was out of the question. Then it happened. And he saw it himself on television.
