50th anniversary of the moon walk

Fifty years ago this week, billions across the globe huddled around tube television sets to watch Neil Armstrong become the first person to step foot on the surface of the moon. Or at least that’s what the majority of people tend to believe (we won’t get into that debate today).

Regardless, the moments surrounding the moon landing of July 20, 1969 is forever ingrained in our national and worldly consciousness.

On July 11-12, our staff ventured into downtown Kyle to see what people think about the moon landings – whether they personally viewed it back then, or have seen footage of it thereafter.
