Thanks Mike,
Great piece of nostalgia.
I remember watching the live, black and white, coverage on TV.
It was a monumental achievement. The Apollo 11 craft was the first to use bleeding edge Integrated Circuit technology. The guidance and navigation computer had no disk drive, 74 kilobytes of fixed memory (programs in ROM) and about 4 kilobytes of something like RAM!

Regards, Rob.
