Anyone like me, drank Tang because the astronauts did? Lol LM5, another fantastic journey you have provided for us to enjoy and watch over and over. Thank you so much again, and bless you.

Apollo 15 was the first real science mission, with three full lunar EVAs. It was also the first mission with a rover. I will never forget seeing the Hadley Rille live from the rover camera at the EVA station stop at Elbow crater, just up Hadley Delta. What a sight!

This is how I remember the moon missions in real time. Watching Walter Cronkite talking you through things with models and animation without actually seeing much. I really wanted to hear what he was listening to. 🙂

Love the way the old time TV commentators used to speak. Great work again LM5
-
What a spectacular time in history...thx for posting

It is something to think that Dave Scott is the only one still with us. Thank you, LM5!
-
Amazing stuff. The progress in technology from Apollo 11 to the later missions was rapid. Also shows you the Americans love of inserting adverts into everything 😀

Ahhh yes Now I remember. The horrors of Bussing..20 miles across town for 7th Grade.

Watching this video while recovering from wrist and elbow surgery.

I got a chance to see and listen to Al Worden at the Nasa Visitor's Center outside the Cape back in 2015. One of the smartest person's I've ever heard speak and seemed much younger than his actual age. He knew how to separate the wheat from the chaff, that's for sure.

I saw that on the moon, Astronaut Jim Irwin started to have heart issues to the point where it concerned Houston. When astronauts return to the moon with Artemis, their health will be the top priority because if an astronaut got a heart attack, their is no hospital nearby.
-
The first Tang commercial features the old Boeing Space Shuttle concept, in which the orbiter is lofted to high altitude on the back of a large carrier plane and then is released and launches from there into space. I remember seeing the drawings of that dual vehicle combo in my dad's old Aviation Week & Space Technology magazines.

Most of this was from ABC, but at the end, we see a brief clip of NBC's browse, anchored by Frank McGee.

Great four four part anniversary presentation. It will have to do until you can do the Full Mission Series someday. Many thanks. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go out and get me some Tang.
-
Cheers LM5!

David Horowitz who later had a long tenure with KNBC-TV as a consumer reporter, many appearances on Johnny Carson's Tonight Show. "Stay aware and informed, Fight Back, and don't let anyone rip you off!"

This is amazing! I found your channel a couple of minutes ago and I'm already overjoyed. Huge thanks from the Czech Republic! :)
