I was at the hospital on duty and fully expecting to watch it in the  
Doctors Lounge.    We had a stat GSW to the abdomen case and I  brought a radio 
into the room and as we operated we heard the first words from  the moon on 
the  radio, "HOUSTON, Tranquility Base Here, the Eagle has  landed."   and 
later the words as Neil Armstrong descended the  steps.  I saw it later the 
next day on replay.

I was  six years old, enjoying my first summer vacation from school,
taking small  steps and giant leaps of my own (although for me, the
expectations were  modest).  

I watched the grainy black-and-white on late-night TV  in my parents'
room, periodically sprinting downstairs and out into the  yard to squint
up and imagine that I might be really sharing the  experience.

An extraordinary moment, no doubt.  

But I hear  it was all faked.  'Least that's what they say on  the
internets.

Do you  remember what you were doing 40 years ago today? It is one of
those very  vivid days in my memory. I am sure that is the same for most
of  you
