It was '69 my last year at NLU. My FIL, now deceased, was at Cape Canaveral as it was called then for Apollo 11 lift-off. It "literally" scared him half to death as he explained upon returning.
Can't remember his exact explanation, but it was along the lines of "it felt like the ground had liquefied" and it scared him half to death...he was a little timid, but it did make a real impression on most who witnessed the Saturn V liftoffs.

I saw the Apollo 17 Launch in person.
Pearl Harbor Day of 1972.
My pops worked in the space program, not directly for NASA.
