It was fifty years ago last Saturday that we watched the moon landing. I was 7 years old and in grade 3 living in Adelaide. On this day in 1969 we were sent home early from school so we could watch the moon landing on television. Back then we only had black and white television sets, and the pictures sent back from the moon were grainy. Today we are so lucky to have the picture digitally enhanced and in colour. Thank you to Google for the photos.
