I think the first time I saw it, I was sitting in a library and someone was sending an email. That was in about
1990. I'm sure people used it before that, but I hadn't seen it until then. By the end of the 20th century, it was
fairly common. Now everyone uses it.

Speaker 2 (00:36):
I wasn't born in 1945, but my grandparents used to talk about it. There were parties in the streets and people
celebrated after five long years. They'd lost friends and neighbours, so it isn't the kind of thing you forget.

Speaker 3 (00:60):
I remember it really well because I was there in 1987. I walked out the hotel and there were lines of people all
waiting. I followed them to see what they were doing. In the distance, you could see the yellow symbol. I don't
think many people had eaten American fast food before, so there was a lot of excitement.

Speaker 4 (01:29):
OK, so that was in 1969 and I was about 10 years old. I remember my family didn't have a television, so we
went to our cousins. My aunt and uncle had more money than us. The pictures weren't great, but I'll never forget
hearing the famous words, One giant leap for mankind. None of us could believe it.

Speaker 5 (02:03):
As soon as it happened, I packed my bags and took a train across Europe to Germany. I wanted to be one of the
first people to get a piece of it. I was a student in 1989 and I missed some of my classes. I got into a lot of
trouble, but it was worth it for a piece of history.
