    Getting up to change the channels on the TV, and having to use pliers because the knob broke. LOL.

    LOL we had to use pliers also, and whack the side of it when the picture would roll!

    That was magic. I watched Neil's giant step at a camp ground in Ontario outdoors on TVs set up in an outdoor theatre for the purpose. I watched the TV and looked up to see the moon, expecting to be able to see the lander.
