On July 20, 1969, the Apollo 11 lunar module landed on the Moon. Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin walked on the surface while Michael Collins stayed in orbit aboard the command module.
Families gathered around black-and-white television sets to watch the grainy pictures. Armstrong's words as he stepped down, "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind," became some of the most quoted of the century.
Where were you that night? Many people still remember exactly whose living room they were sitting in.
