Yep, I believe. I was 9 when we landed on the moon. We were in the process of driving from Mississippi to Washington State because we were moving to Taiwan. We got to somewhere in Montana and my Mom and Dad said we would stay in a hotel there for a few days to watch the moon landing. I was fascinated. Many years later, I went to the Smithsonian because I wanted to seen the rocks they brought back. I was pretty disappointed that they looked like regular rocks. Don't know what I expected. Maybe made out of cheese?
