<div dir="ltr">When Apollo 11 landed on the moon on July 20,
1969, nearly half of the country’s 57 million televisions were
turned to CBS’s anchored by Walter Cronkite. Martha Teichner
reports on the epochal vent through the lens of Cronkite’s
enthusiastic reportage.</div>

<p>The moon landing happened that Sunday afternoon at about 2:00 PM,
Pacific Time. Neil Armstrong stepped on the lunar surface at
about 4 minutes before 8:00 PM; Buzz Aldrin stepped off the ladder
about 19 minutes later. I was working the late shift at an Enco
service station that day, unaware of the lunar events a quarter of
a million miles away.</p>

<p>Our family had, within the previous month, moved into a new house
constructed by my dad and his father-in-law during the previous
record-cold winter of 1968. There was a new color television set
in the living room, but I was so focused on earning college
spending money, it was for siblings and parents to watch. Within
a month I would be a resident of the new Theophilus Tower, and
within two months, the father-in-law would be a resident of
Grandview Cemetery.</p>

<p>1969 was a year of many transitions, most of which are recognized
in hindsight.<br>
