I can remember being glued to the TV as a kid watching the Moon landings.
Hard to believe it was so long ago now.

There's a thread on sci.space.history with the subject "England's
History of Space Broadcasts" where I've shown just how clear my memories
are :-)
The really scary part is that I remembered the name of the programme
they stopped live coverage for (Jackanory).
If you want to feel really old and geeky, does anyone remember the
coverage of the first Surveyor unmanned landing - or Jodrell Bank
scooping the Russians?

Lots clearer than the original posters anyway. :-)

I can remember Jodrell Bank Luna photos in the papers, but not on TV.
Earliest TV I remember was the Tokyo Olympics.

Doesn't everybody? Bleep. Bleep!

Not a patch on Journey into Space" though.

One doesn't have to be "a geek". The only qualification is age. The
radio was just as important then as TV is today. Except that life still
went on while the radio did its thing in the backgound rather than
demanding constant attention.

It was rare for the radio in our home not to be on during the day and
in the evenings. My father had a rather nice Armstrong valve receiver
and very large kit-built reflex loudspeaker purchased by mail order
from Wireless World magazine in the magical new modern material: Naked
Chipboard! The speaker box was later upgraded with a roll of the new
woodgrain Fablon. The radio was our live connection with the outside
world and our major source of music and entertainment. The daily paper
only told us what happened yesterday and it was usually all bad!

I vaguely remember my father showing me the picture of the very
unlikely-looking Sputnik as we listened to a recording of the Russian
space mine on the radio. But I was always more interested in astronomy
than space flight. The two seeemd to have nothing to do with each
other. Until the Moon landing finally made spaceflight real. Or as real
as it can be in black and white with transparent, over-exposed spacemen
hopping about on our rented TV in the early hours.

It gets worse. I remember overhearing 2 women talking about Laika, the
dog the Russians sent up with no intention or possibility of bringing
down "It's dreadful: I mean dogs are human aren't they" How right she
was, though zoologists might differ.

Working in the US, I spent a dreadful week in bed with something
called New England flu, my boredom alleviated by watching the
incessantly interupted countdown for John Glenn's first American
orbital flight.

The thought of that poor ******* stuck on top of that much explosive
for hour after hour with no way of knowing when zero would actually
arrive made my misery seem small beer. That and trying to work out his
toilet arrangements.
