I was seven and we weren't big TV watchers. My mom made dinner early and we made a point of sitting in front of the tv (in my parents bedroom) and watching the landing. My dad was a scientist at a lab and I was amazed that he was dumbstruck by this! He was the sort you couldn't ask why a penny was copper without a 40 minute disertation on Roman times etc!
Your dad was a Scientist and really understood the complexity of what these men were doing. I worked on a very small piece of the overall effort and I was dumbstruck at what they accomplished. It took someone like your dad to truly appreciate and understand the significants of that day.
