The July, 2009 issue of Smithsonian magazine has a photo story on the
people who were at and around Cape Kennedy for the launch of Apollo 11
on July 16, 1969.

The article and photos are online here:

Note the lucky little kids putting together a model of a Gemini astronaut
and spacecraft!

Think there will be the same kind of crowds when we send the first
humans back to the Moon, or on to Mars?
