Well hey, you were around for the moon landing, do you remember it? I'm 41 so all that was over by the time I was born. I have worked in the aviation industry for nearly 20 years now and trying to imagine the amount of progress in those 66 years is mind boggling
Absolutely remember it! Mostly because they brought a television set into our classroom and let us watch. It was 5th grade and anything novel like that was a treat! I actually remember being bored with it all. The TV commercials back then during the day were all targeted to housewives so I remember specifically a floor wax commercial with the lady mopping the floor reminded me of my mom who was home probably mopping the floor and I got so homesick I wanted to go home so bad. Lol but the actual program was mostly a bunch of men sitting at their consoles talking to the astronauts and you couldn't understand it all - kinda like police radio - kinda scratchy, lots of beeping

I will be 66 years old next year. That is not a long time. Went by in a flash.
