Some of these answers raise some interesting points. I have a crystal clear memory of watching Robert Kennedy's assasination live on TV one afternoon, but it didn't happen that way; it was not live, and it was at night.
I wonder how many other things get twisted that way in our memories. In "Mr. Holland's Opus," he drives home from work in the middle of the day when Lennon gets shot - which actually happened near midnight. Weird.
It's because of that, I'm not sure of the time of day when I watched the moon landing, and whether or not I saw it live.
