Do you remember where you where for the first moon walk ?

[classic33]

I can vaguely remember that period but I was a bit young at the time.

You remember the time, but not the day?

Dining room with family ,i was 4 but i remember it well.
I guess it was a Kennedy type moment for me as i missed that.

I was also in the dining room of the same house when my mother burst into tears in 77 when Elvis died

He may not have been the first
There are many recorded instances of the moonwalk; similar steps are reported as far back as 1932, used by Cab Calloway. In 1985, Calloway said that the move was called "The Buzz" when he and others performed it in the 1930s.

I dont think you old fellas are understanding this . Walking on the moon is well old innit .

But giant steps are what you take when......

Sat on the Settee with my Dad, latest I'd ever stayed up until that point.

I was one when Armstrong did his thang. In the eighties I was too busy ruining my hearing with Motorhead to even notice that Mike and Al Jackson even existed.

Weren't the Police "Walking on the Moon" in the late 70's ?

I will never understand the adulation for Michael Jackson. The guy was a paedophile.

There's a tribute musical thing showing soon at the Sunderland Empire. I wonder if they'll have a bit where he gives wine to kids?

Sting went mad after that, eschewing deodourant and eating only flowers washed down with horse urine, or something like that.

You would have thought someone would have mentioned that by now.

Giant steps are what you take

If we're on about the Apollo moon landing and not Michael Jackson, i was still at junior school. Our teacher brought in a tv so we could watch the re-runs of the landing and stuff. I think the actual first steps took place in the middle of the night GMT,so i wouldn't have seen it live. We were on about conspiracy theories down the pub last night. I'm now sceptical about the landing happening. It seems more a probability that it happened in a studio rather than actually happened.

Beer and conspiracy theories make uneasy bedfellows.

I was downstairs on the sofa with dad asleep in the chair. I kept waking him up every time the presenters said it looks like they might be coming out now. Then they failed to appear and he fell asleep again. I stayed awake all through these false alarms until they did come out. And dad woke up.
