I was at home watching it on a Heathkit color TV that I just finished
assembling two days before. The excuse for buying
the kit was to watch the moon landing -- which was in
black-and-white! The tube kit was on sale because Heathkit had
recently introduced their transistorized model. Worked great for
several years, generating Healey quantities of heat.
I grew up on science fiction and was excited about us finally going
to the moon -- but I was just blown away watching it
happen real-time! Incredible achievement, perhaps only passed by the
effort that saved the Apollo 13 astronauts!!
