3 years old and one of my earliest memories, being driven down the private road that my grandparents lived (they had a colour TV) to see a load of men sitting in front of TV screens and a large gird on the wall with a curved line down it.. It was a different evening from the normal. Was a long time in bed when Armstrong "Walked". First actual memory of seeing a Saturn 5 launch was 15 a couple of years later. Never thought that 45 years later, the yanks would not have any manned launcher whatsoever and the venerable Soyuz system would be the only way Man could get into space..
