Being on summer break, I spent a good portion of Apollo 11 glued to the TV. I was totally enthralled with the whole thing, having argued endlessly with classmates about who was really ahead on the race to the moon.
One part I distinctly recall is that, shortly after the Eagle landed, we had a major thunderstorm - knocking out power to a large part of the neighborhood (but not to our house).
I remember I could look out a window and easily see the 'dark' portion of the neighborhood - and thinking how those unfortunates wouldn't be able to watch the first footsteps on the moon if the power didn't come back soon
