One clue at a time: the year tends to come back with the picture.
Some evenings stay with you. On July 20, the whole family gathered around the TV set, and nobody said a word. On CBS, Walter Cronkite and former astronaut Wally Schirra followed every minute, live. Of all the homes watching TV that night, 93 percent were tuned in to the mission. For the first time, a man walked on the Moon. Which year was it?
- 1959
- 1969
- 1979
