Actually so do I. It was one of my earliest memories,
my dad woke me up to watch TV at the middle of the night.

Actually I remember 20th July. It was one of my earliest memories,
my dad woke me up to watch the moon landing from TV late at night.

Just a note: Apollo 11 launched on 16 July 1969, landed on 20 July 1969.
On 15 July, they were still in transit to the moon.

Yeah, I realized the date error and sent a superseding message
correcting the error. But of course group moderation messed that up.
