I’ll never forget that day. We watched it on TV. Back then it was fuzzy TV, but it was great. If I remember correctly, the actual landing was in the early morning, after midnight and we stayed up to watch it. I was in high school.
LM Eagle landed at 4:17:42 pm EDT, so late afternoon on the east coast. You must have been in a different time zone if it was early morning for you. The “first step” onto the lunar surface was at 10:56:20 pm EDT. It was a bit of a late night for those of us watching in NJ, but still worth it to see history happening live before our eyes.
