I was 14 or 15 at the time. I was with my family in Hawaii on a 6 week summer vacation. I don't recall to much of the landing, but I
certainly recall the splash down when they returned. The condo complex we were staying at, had arranged a "Splash Down Party". I remember my dad being so drunk, that he had to climb all the stairs on his hands and knees to get to our unit, then the stairs to get to his bedroom. A few years later, he got to meet all three astronauts at a club in Northern California. Neal Armstrong gave him some Nasa pins and other small items. It was an amazing achievement by the space program. Today, it seems like any space endeavor is treated as no big deal.

We were on a family vacation in a cabin on the shore of Vallecito Lake in southwest Colorado. I had lugged a 12" B&W TV with rabbit ears just so my kids could watch it.
I'm not sure about the rest of the astronauts, but Joe Engle was a class act. I spent a week with him and his son, Capt. Jon Engle on a bow hunt for elk in SW Colorado. His son had already flown combat missions in Iraq and entertained us with a few tales about them.
Before I left Joe gave me a framed color photo of the shuttle he commanded, along with a shoulder patch they wore on their sleeves. He also wrote a personal note on the mat about the hunt and signed it. It's still hanging on my office wall in sight right now.

Myself and five cousins were up at Mirror Lake in the Uinta Mountains and were coming back in the afternoon. We stopped to buy a hamburger and saw it on TV in that Restaurant. I was 16 when it happened.

I arrived in Hong Kong that day and that evening while I was sitting in the bar at hotel they had it on the TV. I was there for 6 days and a lot of the locals there thought it was just another "movie, not the real thing".
I had other things to do so ignored the talk.

My brother and I were checking on a cow that had a calf earlier that morning. We were listening to a "transistor radio". We checked on the cow and then high-tailed it home to watch on TV.
I know a fairly well educated man who swears it never happened and was all staged for TV.
And you guys that were "on a vacation"... at that age I didnt know what that meant. You must've been "townies".

That's cool Tony. I wasnt seriously bashing anyone. I just grew up with a Dad who was never happier than when he was working on his ranch. Therefore we didnt go on many vacations. I'm just jealous.
