I was really too young to pay attention to previous ones but I remember all the buzz around it because of replays of the others. I was in awe watching on our massive 19" color screen. It was B&W broadcast but a Scientist was collecting rock samples not only a military pilot. A scientist could be an astronaut!
That's when I started noticing Star Trek reruns too.

Then I remember the evening news later talking about all the men who had died in Vietnam up to that day (I think it was Cronkite). The moon landing made me realize the scope of the world I lived on was definitely bigger than my neighborhood. I had a whole world of neighbors and possibly a universe full too.

ASIDE: Strangely I knew Jim Morrison had died by then but we still listened to his music. But thinking about it now it would have been some cool background music at the moment.
Pink Floyd gave us Dark Side of the Moon the following year.
