Well....
For JFK's assassination, I was in Biology Class and I KNEW the world was changing, and not for the better because I thought JFK was a honorable man. He was murdered by Dark Forces. Just like 9/11. Got that same bloody feeling (sigh).
As for the moon landing, I was watching it on a TV in a store window on Yonge Street in Toronto during those psychedelic days...justlike the feeling of wonder I got watching Space Odyssey. It was profound, and I thought I would get to travel in space in my lifetime. That can only happen behind closed doors and between my ears, it seems now. LOL
