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

[MiK1138]

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.

Are you ME? #whoamI

I had just turned 2 yrs old so have no memory of Apollo XI but i do recall some of the splashdowns from later missions

I was 5 and recall seeing ghosty images of it on our B&W telly at home. BTW, the MJ thing - why is it called moonwalking?. Don't recall Armstrong or Aldrin doing that.

How come the sun was in the background yet the shadow of the rock was behind the rock and not in front of it?

It's not even an MJ invention. He just made it popular.

Mmm,so says the Guardian. I won't accept these dispelling conspiracy theories reports unless they're provided by a credible source such as the DM!

I was shopfitting a new M&S in Salisbury

Should have gone to Specsavers (other opticians are available)

Read that as "I was shoplifting in M & S and Sainsbury's".

I thought,I bet he wants to get it off his chest after all these years.

Indeed

It was first seen in Britain on Top of the Pops when Shalamar were booked to appear, but only Jeffrey Daniel was able to turn up.

He danced the entire number - including one move he called "the Back slide".

The performance was so good, the BBC were inundated with fan mail, begging for him to come back. He had to rush from a gig in Amsterdam to appear the next week.

He later demonstrated the "Black Slide" to MJ, who used it in the same week on a live TV performance of Billie Jean and called it the Moonwalk

PS : I know where I was - it was a night to remember

I was in bed, in the morning at work “did you see it” …....me ...... “see what”

Mythbusters killed the conspiracy theory once and for all. The Apollo missions left mirror reflectors behind that we can use to shine laser light at - moon dust just diffuses it. This has allowed us to work out the precise distance to the moon and that it's moving away from us at about the same pace that human fingernails grow!. So how did the reflectors get there, conspirators?.

Plus, the moon landing was relayed via the Parkes observatory radio telescope dish in Australia - anyone seen The Dish with Sam Neil?.

I missed it because it was past my bedtime. I argued to be allowed to stay up to watch history in the making, but to no avail.

I think the Clangers tv show started about the time of the supposed first moon landing,so yes i suppose this could be actual footage of man on the moon.

I've read it 3 times now and still read shoplifting

I remember exactly. We were in our camper van parked in a layby in Scotland, the wind rocking the car and the rain beating against the windows, listening to it on a Bush transistor radio.
