| I'm so old that I already forgot everything, but I still remember the daily news on the 'Nam. Being about 14 and a German, I shouldn't have cared less, but I definitely rooted for the Commies. :P [[Special:Contributions/141.101.104.201|141.101.104.201]] 13:51, 12 July 2019 (UTC) | | I'm so old that I already forgot everything, but I still remember the daily news on the 'Nam.

− | Another old guy who remembers the JFK assassination. I remember the school principal announced it over the PA. I was 8 years old. We watched the entire funeral procession on TV at home. Of course with something that has been talked about for so long it's hard to forget.

− | Margaret Thatcher, MP, gaining leadership of the Conservative Party. Can't remember when I later learnt she became Prime Minister, though. There's a gap. (*Insert joke about current leadership contest, here...*) [[Special:Contributions/162.158.158.165|162.158.158.165]] 13:27, 14 July 2019 (UTC)

− | Weirdly, my first dateable ''news'' memory is indeed '''the lunar landing''' when I was 22 month old, which occurred on my father's birthday. His main birthday gift, from my grandparents, was our first TV. The first thing we watched on it was the lunar landing. I have earlier memories I can safely date to when I was around 14 months old. Not counting nightmares I've had since I was a toddler that may be the birth experience. But that one's a bit of a stretch. — [[User:Kazvorpal|Kazvorpal]] ([[User talk:Kazvorpal|talk]]) 01:37, 2 August 2019 (UTC)

− | : Oh, and it's worth note that famed actress [[wikipedia:Marilu Henner|Marilu Henner]] '''lost her virginity''' on the day of the moon landing. I know this because I watched her on a talk show, I think Late Night with Bob Costas in the late 1980s, and he was rattling off dates to test her eidetic memory. He gave July 20th, 1969, and she was flustered. She eventually said that's when she lost her virginity. He was amazed, and said he was going for the lunar landing. She was quite bemused. Oh, she eventually added that she lost it standing up in the shower. — [[User:Kazvorpal|Kazvorpal]] ([[User talk:Kazvorpal|talk]]) 01:37, 2 August 2019 (UTC)
