What’s the most-watched TV broadcast in history?

This historic event captivated an estimated 125 to 150 million viewers, drawn together by the universal allure of human achievement and exploration. On July 20, 1969, audiences around the globe were glued to their television sets as Neil Armstrong took his first steps on the lunar surface. This marked a monumental moment not just in space exploration but in television history as well. While Super Bowl LVIII indeed broke records with 123.4 million viewers, making it the most-watched Super Bowl in history and the second most-watched telecast, it falls just short of the Apollo landing, which remains an unmatched television milestone.
