I wasn't aware that man had landed on the moon until I watched the second landing, Apollo 12, November 19, 1969, while recovering from malaria at 5th Convalescence Center, Cam Ranh Bay, S. Vietnam. Apollo 12 Audio From what I remember, the astronauts seemed goofy and irreverent in relation to the honor bestowed upon them and the fact that most of the world was watching.
