Default 50th Anniversary Thread Of Apollo 11

Seems like it was yesterday I was watching it in front of the b&w RCA TV. I highly recommend the Apollo 11 special that's playing on CNN, fabulous, crisp images. Here's a preview link: https://www.cnn.com/shows/apollo-11-cnn-film . I saw it on youtubetv.

Chasing the Moon (Pt 2) is on tonight...Tonight Walter Cronkite almost gets blown out of his chair during the Saturn V test in 1967. Y'all should love that.

We had a color Heathkit that my father soldered together...the landing images were b & w anyway. That Apollo 11 special was fantastic on 4K tv

CNN - the Crazy News Network - how surprising.

I would expect CNN to be in bed with the Deniers that the Moon Landings happened.

They must be trying to improve their credibility after the years of Russian collusion nonsense.

We still have DPST true believers in Russian Collusion on this Forum - IBH knows them well.

and Still resistant to giving up their narrative.

I would expect Fox to be in bed with the deniers that the moon landings happened....the majority of the space race happened under Democrat administrations.

And where would it all have been had it not been for Ike who saw to it that NASA was created in the first place?

He doesn’t know. But Trump has invigorated space exploration, including the military.

I know exactly we're I was when Armstrong stepped out.

Finishing up my tour in the military in Erlangen Germany.

I wish I could live to see the first human on Mars. But I doubt I will make it.

But at least I got to see that.

Watching it with a bunch of friends. When I drove home, the newly opened 610 Loop was completely deserted. It was otherworldly.

No. Trump has talked about it. He hasn’t actually done anything but trip over his own twittering thumbs again.

here's a feel good trailer for a movie about the beginnings of the space program. a TWK fav!


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ElzIPn1pXWE


interestingly, Chuck Yeager, the first man to break the sound barrier was not recruited for the Space program. He didn't have a college degree. He later was Commandant of the Air Force Astronaut program, as a Brigadier general. He found that ironic, all those PH.d Astro boys under his command!


and yes YR, Yeager is still alive at 96!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chuck_Yeager

my uncle Dave knew him in the Army Air Force as it was known then. my uncle is 97. He flew military transports with supplies to Europe and Yeager happened to be assigned as fighter escort on one of his runs. they had a few drinks after the mission. found out they were practically neighbors before the war. Yeager from WVA and my uncle from Kentucky.

Chuck Yeager was da man! He shot down German jets from his P51 at the end of the war.

Hey Ridley, you got any Beamans? I’ll pay you back later.

I remember an interview quite a few years ago when Yeager was asked about the factual truth in the movie The Right Stuff. Especially when he just went and climbed into that F104 and took off, without any notice.

His answer was to paraphrase....”if I would have pulled a stunt like that, my next stop would have been Leavenworth”

Great entertaining movie, though. And a great man.
