You're undoubtedly well aware that next Monday, July 20th, is the Fortieth Anniversary of the fulfillment of President Kennedy's challenge of "landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to the Earth." Where were you when this happened?

For me, I was watching Cream perform in Baltimore on their final tour. Between every few numbers Ginger Baker (drummer) would slip backstage for a moment and return. After one trip he brought the microphone close and said, "You Yanks just landed a man on the moon!"

For those of you around then, what is your story?
