I was in kindergarten or first grade when I saw the TV
broadcasts (I remember the teacher or someone bringing in
the TV stand, that's about it).
Where? In my time zone (Eastern US) it was about 8 pm
when they landed, close to 10 pm when they finally stepped
out of the LEM. Much to my annoyance, I was having a
great deal of trouble staying awake by then.
Good question. In that case I've no clue *what* we
were watching -- although I was on the East Coast
at the time.
(It's possible the teacher taped it. I can only guess now.)
The moon-landing deniers seem to be readers of one or two
particularly vocal loons (like the guy who goes around
to astronauts and takes videotape of himself demanding
that they swear on a bible they went to the moon). Those
guys are the source of the conspiracy theories and keep
recycling the same pseudo-explanations around, long-ago
debunked on badastronomy.com.

Ah yes, badastronomy.com. Good website. :-)
