Today in History: Armstrong and Aldrin land on moon, 1969... where were you?
I was on a mountaintop near the Korean DMZ. I built a gigantic log periodic wire antenna on the side of the mountain pointing towards JP, scavenged up a black & white "portable" TV, and my team & I watched the grainy picture of the landing coming from a Japanese TV station... with Japanese-language commentary. we did not understand the commentary, but the excitement & joy of the TV anchors in JP knew no linguist barriers.
