My memory of the '69 moon shot. July, and the family was on its quadrennial pilgrimage to Vienna, where my grandmother and uncle had one of these marvelous apartments with hardwood floors and real tall ceilings and plaster an inch thick. One fine evening the TV was tuned to the Apollo news. Now even as an eight-year-old I was fascinated with space, so I was fairly glued to the set. My folks sent me to take a bath, which i dutifully did. (The price of defying my parents was established very early in my life as higher than I cared for.) When I was all dry and in my jammies, the Eagle had landed. Now I don't know if it was an artifact of the tape-delayed broadcast, but I was bummed.
