One small step...

I was thirteen at the time.

I had school the next day, but my parents understood that the most momentous event in history was about to unfold, so I was allowed to stay up until stupid o'clock (I think it was about 3 or 4 in the morning) to watch the small, grainy, ghostly image of a man doing something utterly unprecedented: setting foot on the moon.
