I was 12 at the time, living at RAF Watton. I had to stay up to see Neil Armstrong take that step, which was around 4 am here.

Brian, the service module on Apollo 13 was made of Lego. That’s what came out of the enquiry, if I remember correctly.

I think Simon is correct about Lego being more robust than tinfoil. Saw a YouTube video recently which said that Apollo 13 was lucky that the blast in the service module was allowed to escape out the side, rather than being contained which would have caused much greater damage internally.
