A gas station I used to go to gave away Apollo 13 glasses a few years later. It was in the days of my first apartment and I collected a whole set of them. In honor of the occassion I invented a very popular drink that was dubbed the Appolo 13. It was a very complex mixture consisting of 4 fingers of Scotch and one ice cube. Many said that that drink gave them a much better understanding of space travel. ;)

I was in Hong Kong watching it on a tele in a hotel room with my parents.  Very cool!  These guys are real heroes.

I was 10... It was the 21st in our time zone, around 4AM, when I sat glued to our B&W to see the event - I still vividly remember it...  8)

Oh yeah, I was 19 at the time, resting up from my Freshman year in college.
