    even before the moon landing all us kids had the space madness , it was huge in the 60s, astronauts were like rock stars, . I was 7 years old when I watched the moon landing , I knew what walking was, I knew what rockets were, I knew the moon, even so, the significance was lost on me. I did know it was special because the adults said so. When I was a few years older I used to go to the aerospace museum at tullamarine airport and would see displays of life size lunar lander ( Eagle) , dioramas and even a real moon rock. That was pretty cool and made it more real.

      That sounds so amazing and must have made a massive impression on you for you to be so interested in it all.

        Of course it did. It was exciting, it had cool machines and astronauts ( who were super smart ) , there was exploration of the unknown.

        I still think it’s cool. :)
