Not many people...in fact not many generations can say they were alive when something truly, universally unique and never-to-be-duplicated like the first circumnavigation of earth, or the first human to step foot on the moon occurred.
Many of us who are alive now were fortunate enough to witness Neil Armstrong (who passed away today at 82) perform the latter. Brian Williams was one of us and his brief commentary in this report is worth hearing.
This report gives a little flavor of the times of the moon landing. The landing still remains the most widely watched event in history - an estimated one-fifth of the world's population at that time saw it.
