Excellent, detailed coverage. I remember watching this on a rented TV when out of town at a summer cottage. Exciting!

Thanx for The Memory!....Certainly a milestone in the life for those around then...it was a Highlight of 1969,an otherwise dismal year..Most thought this was the Begining,a JFK dream come true,whats next? America waited..other than some other spectacular NASA missions,none could exceed the world interest in this,Save Apollo 13,a saga in human Drama, Our Space Program Is Over in this Generation!And Humanity is poorer for it!

For once you have tasted flight you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skywards, for there you have been and there you will long to return.

Great find, thank you. :applause:

Many years ago, I remember NASA had a display of a LM interior.
What I can't remember was if it was at Kennedy Space Center or the National Air & Space Museum. :isadizzy:

Anyway they had a video loop, with the monitors right outside the LM's windows, so it looked like you were seeing the Apollo 11 landing as Buzz and Neil would have.
That was pretty cool.

I actually like this presentation through the website better, as you get to hear what was going on in Houston as well.
