We went around asking people if they could remember what they were doing on July 20, 1969 when astronauts walked on the moon for the first time. Here is what they said: John Bates I was 18 years old. I was watching TV at home and saw the news about the first astronaut who walked on the moon. His name was Neil Armstrong. I remember he could jump really high because people aren’t so heavy on the moon. He became a national hero in America, and famous all over the world. Paul Robinson I was 12 years old. I don’t remember what I was doing, but I remember I was so excited and I wanted to go to the moon, too. My dream was to become an astronaut and fly to space in a rocket. I wanted to see the earth from the moon because the astronauts said that the earth looked very beautiful from there. Linda Brown I remember that I was working that day. I was 20 years old then. I didn’t see them land on the moon because I was busy, but I read about it in the newspaper the next day. I thought it was amazing. Maybe I can have my vacation on the moon one day! Mark Green I was only seven years old then. I did hear my parents talking about it excitedly when I went home, and I learned about it later in school. But I don’t remember what I was doing when it happened. I think I was too young to remember. Maybe I was having fun in the playground with my friends when it happened. 51.
