Any old timers care to comment what you were doing when we landed on the Moon ?
As an impressionable 16 year old , I was laying on the floor in front of the RCA Victor , with my Radio Shack 3" reel to reel recorder , and taping the whole thing .
They landed , and took forever to open that door . I still have those tapes , but never listened to them since . I do remember the scratchy sound they sent back : "One mall step
for ann, one iant leap for ankind ". I kept telling my siblings to be quiet , but now I wish I had interviewed them and my dad for comments . It has been 20 years since my dad has been gone .
Whatever anyone else thinks , I do beleive we did go to the moon .
Steven Speilberg has commented that given the state of movie effects at that time , it would have been cheaper to do the real thing than to fake it on a movie set .
Tang was not invented for the moon mission , it was developed in 1957 by General Foods , but the Gemini astronauts made it famous !
