The best time to be a space buff. It was gut wrenchingly exciting in those days. The USA thought they had lost the race to the moon at that point. Then of course came the disaster of Soyuz I a few months later and it was back to all square.
To be honest I think the most gripping moment of Apollo was the launch of Apollo VIII
Almost everyone was saying "They will never come back"
