Damn, Jim! Is there a way to put some pictures up of all that stuff? I for
one, would love to see them. But I guess now that Jay is about to get them,
that would be up to him. How 'bout it, Jay? Could you take some pics and
post them on your site?

You must be older than dirt! I was an eleven year old, that spent countless
hours sitting in a tree, with a model lander on a long kite string, doing my
own lunar landings. g

I saw all of the space stuff at the Air and Space Museum, later in life, and
could not believe how frail all of those space ships looked. It was hard to
believe they could even hold in atmosphere with out busting.

I, for one, still remember where I was when they landed, and walked on the
moon. Many others remember that landmark day like yesterday, I understand.

Absolutely!

Me, too. I was also 11 years old, and at YMCA summer camp. The counselors
let us stay up late to watch it -- on a single, black & white TV with rabbit
ear antenna.

Needless to say, 200 kids crowded around a fuzzy picture in the mess hall
was something to remember!

9 years old, hardwood floor - three across, each with our own pillow. Adults
and older kids got the furniture.

Mom was not too happy with us kids when we woke up our baby brother so he
could (someday) say, "I saw the moon landing." He was 6 months old at the
time g.

The landing and walk were something to remember.

I'm seeing an entire wall (painting) of Mission Control specialists peeking
over the top of their work stations - looking into the suite ...back at the
guests.

how about having them look at something else? Like a launch, or something
really different like the Wright brother's first flight?

Not really, just a matter of being in the right place at the right time. I
graduated in 1967 and due to the fact that I had several years of
VHF/UHF/radar experience with the airlines, I got my pick of half a dozen
RF/microwave companies in San Diego. Ryan promised me a microwave job in
the Apollo lab and I jumped at it. A few years later I found out that
Conic was making this experimental TV transmitter for Apollo 15 and I jumped
at that. Shortly thereafter I started RST and dropped out of the aerospace
ratrace.

I guess I was 25 when Apollo 11 landed...I remember that the flying club had
scheduled a lunch on Catalina Island that day and I knew I had to be home by
early afternoon to hear the touchdown...as I vaguely recall, they touched
down around 5 pm PDT. Did I get that right?

Well, not like *yesterday*. I was a student at the University of Tennessee. No
TV set. I found a business with a TV set near the window and watched it from the
street.

Drink up, Socrates -- it's all-natural.

Sounds about right. As I recall, it was late evening in East Tennessee.

Launched: 16 July 1969 UT 13:32:00 (09:32:00 a.m. EDT)

Landed on Moon: 20 July 1969 UT 20:17:40 (04:17:40 p.m. EDT)

Returned to Earth: 24 July 1969 UT 16:50:35 (12:50:35 p.m. EDT)

(from the website)
The Apollo 11 extravehicular activity (EVA) began at 10:39:33 p.m. EDT on
July 20, 1969. Astronaut Neil Armstrong emerged from the spacecraft first.
While descending, he released the Modularized Equipment Stowage Assembly on
the Lunar Module's descent stage. A camera on this module provided live
television coverage of man's first step on the Moon. On this, their one and
only EVA, the astronauts had a great deal to do in a short time. During this
first visit to the Moon, the astronauts remained within about 100 meters of
the lunar module, collected about 47 pounds of samples, and deployed four
experiments. After spending approximately 2 hours and 31 minutes on the
surface, the astronauts ended the EVA at 1:11:13 a.m. EDT on July 21.


Much like TV's coverage of the 1968 Democratic National Convention in
Chicago the summer before - you try to stay up all night, but still have
your pillow handy just in case. Age 8 in 1968. Age 9 in 1969. Good times.
Good times :-)

I remember it well. I was 7 and that was the latest I had ever stayed up
when not getting home from a trip. I watched every moment of the EVA and
never even started nodding off. In fact I'd bet Armstrong was asleep after
the walk before I was. I thought it was the coolest thing ever to happen.

Looking back... I was right.
