  • Fifty years ago today, Apollo 11 began its voyage into American history. The Saturn V rocket carrying astronauts Neil Armstrong, Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin and Michael Collins launched from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida at 9:32 a.m. on July 16, 1969 - and just four days later, man first set foot on the moon. The moon mission was a milestone in human history. But it was also a groundbreaking moment in broadcast television, as CBS News anchor Walter Cronkite brought the frontier of space to living rooms across America.

      For added 1969 realism, sit on a bright orange Naugahyde footstool pulled up to within arm's reach of the screen to enable you to quickly adjust the rabbit ears and/or twist the fine tuner if (when) the picture starts fuzzing out, adjust the vertical hold knob if (when) the picture starts rolling, or manually change the channel back and forth between CBS, NBC, and ABC coverage whenever one went to commercial or otherwise got boring.

      @Southeastern777 I'm pretty sure my accomplishments are greater than your. But regarding my comment, it's not disrespect. It's just what happened. I don't even blame it on NASA. They were ordered to do something that was impossible at that time (and still is). Sending humans is not the same as sending robots. Nobody has ever managed to send a squirrel and return it alive, let alone a human. No reptilian, mammal or avian has ever been sent to another planet (or moon) and returned alive. In 1960'es or 2010'es. Never. So of course that NASA engineers failed. Not because they were bad engineers, but because it wasn't feasible. Russians didn't do it either. Europeans, nope. Chinese, nope. Japanese, nope.
      So I don't disrespect NASA, I'm just saying it was a political game. Politicians asked them to be 99% sure they will send the astronauts there and back. Engineers said "no way, you can get maybe 20%. The only way to guarantee 100% success is if we film it in a studio". And of course the response was: "Make it so".

    I read somewhere that in the mid-70s Walter Cronkite had traveled somewhere to cover a political story. He started up a conversation with a local reporter who was also there. He said he envied the local reporter because that man could go anywhere and cover a story with great anonymity. Cronkite said that when he showed up he became the story. That's how it feels here. Cronkite is such an integral part of the Apollo program that it's hard to separate him from the story. But that's why he was so great!

    You surpassed my expectations! I was really hoping for a comprehensive DVD release of the live coverage of the flight since I figured the original video tapes had to have been archived. To see the original live coverage with original network commercials is a historian's dream come true. Took several hours to download from the net but was worth the effort. Hope to see similar uplinks of the live coverage of landing and EVA, then the splashdown. Good job CBS!

  • @TS-ev1bl
    @TS-ev1bl 4 года назад +1

    I remember this TV broadcast very well. I was ten years old in 1969, and no matter what time of day or night space flight coverage came on TV, I was awake and ready for it even if I had to set my alarm. There was no DVR'ing then, and our Internet service was notoriously weak in 1969 (joke, btw), so the choices were watch it on TV live or later wish you had. I had been a little too young to grasp Project Mercury as it was going on, but I jumped on the space bandwagon as the very exciting Gemini missions pushed back the envelope of what we knew about space travel and rehearsed the critical steps that needed to be done in order to reach the moon. In order to do my part, in 1965 or '66 I sent away several box tops or "inner seals" from something, I don't remember what it was, for a sweet plastic snap-together model of a Gemini space capsule. It was probably some kind of cereal or maybe Tang, but certainly not those nasty "Space Food Sticks" which came a few years later. I always had that model in my hand for good luck during TV coverage of Gemini. Walter Cronkite was typically my go-to man for space coverage, but I also liked David Brinkley on NBC. Frank Reynolds was also great on ABC, however our rabbit ears always had a difficult time clearly picking up the local ABC affiliate. Maybe we needed more aluminum foil crumpled around the ends of the "ears". Anyway, I didn't realize it back then, but that was a great time to be a kid. In fact, IMHO, being a kid in the '60s, a teen in the '70s, and a 20-something in the '80s was like hitting the "great time to be alive" trifecta.
