I remember watching Armstrong step onto the moon on a TV set display at Sears Roebuck, as my Mom apparently thought it was important for my Dad and I to accompany her shopping that day.

My mom told me they were watching from home and my elderly grandma was staying with us then, she refused to believe a man was walking on the moon, she kept asking what was on the tv and they were telling her who he was and what she was doing and she just it wasn't possible and to "put something else on". I guess that was what a lot of people in that generation thought. Well time to go watch Capricorn One
