I was 21 and I watched it. It was very satisfying to see us do something so impressive, something President Kennedy told the world we were going to do. Then by god we did it, and just like he said, before the end of the decade. It was a reaffirmation of American power and engineering excellence, and it was a giant middle finger to the Soviets.
