Agreed! We were taking a family Christmas vacation at Lake Tahoe that week. Rental house, no TV. As I recall, all we had was an AM radio. But I very clearly remember standing outside between storms, knee-deep in snow, looking up at the nearly full moon, and thinking, wow, there are three guys in orbit up there!
