If memory serves, those are the dates for Apollo 11, the first moon landing. Launched on the 16th and returned to splashdown on the 24th. I have no idea about the 21st. That date doesn't fit with the mission. I watched the whole thing in my parent's living room. I was home on leave from the Navy at the time. Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong walked on the moon on the 19th and stayed for 21 hours, leaving on the 20th.
My mother got pregnant.
Many things.
