I was two years old and my mother kept on repeating to me as I watched the
television, "remember this moment, people are walking on the moon for the
very first time!"  And I actually do clearly recall it to this day.  : )

I have very fond memories of watching Cosmos.  It enthralled me with the
wonder of science, both past, present and future.  My mother watched it as
excitedly as I did (and I think she may have developed a crush on Carl
Sagan...).  : )
