I was 16 and watched it at my girlfriend's house because they had color TV!
I recall that my great grandmother (b. 1879) was still of clear mind at the time and simply did not belive that people were actually on or near the moon. She refused to accept it, said it was a government trick.
I heard other stories of such people. I guess when the only means of transportation was a horse when she was young, it would be pretty hard to accept that men were walking on the moon!
Thanks for the memories, terriphil! /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/yesnod.gif
