Apollo 17 launch. It was a night launch. Only night launch in the Apollo program. 5 year old me thought they had to launch at night so they could see the moon better.

I have some vague memories of Watergate and Nixon's resignation and the fall of Saigon. The first clear memory of a news event I have was the two planes crashing in the Canary Islands in 1977 that killed 583.
