I was 16, she was 12. Can't remember if it was a school night

I was just giddy with excitement!

One time there was a launch, and I sat alone in my HS staircase with a little transistor radio to hear it, when I should have been in class! 😄

For the actual Moon Landing Launch I was a volunteer for my local Headstart program. We were taking the kids somewhere. I sat in the back of the bus with same transistor radio to hear the liftoff!

I always believed with the right government we could take care of people, the planet, and do space exploration. 👍
