My goodness the media needs to get a life! I don't really remember watching this but it could be the years our TV was broken and we didn't watch any. I remember the stories about it, just not the TV news.Timareehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15769047120660859743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7160421461079825663.post-82458245016500769552009-07-22T05:50:26.871-04:002009-07-22T05:50:26.871-04:00Don't despair too much Dot...Jack and I watche...Don't despair too much Dot...Jack and I watched the history channel and they ran a series on all of the Apollo missions all day long...we then decided to watch Apollo 13 this Saturday for movie night.

The ...I remember that day as if it were yesterday. The whole family sat in front of the t.v. set and watched with complete and total amazement at what was happening up on our little moon. I recall my father telling us that this was a momentous day and we were witnessing history in the making and he was right. It was even more exciting than watching the Beatles perform for the first time in the U.S. on the Ed Sullivan Show!!<br /><br />I agree that the media spends entirely too much time on "entertainers." Our grandchildren have no great heroes, just over paid sports figures and mediocre bands. Case in point, my 9 year old grandson loves the Jonas Bros... oh hum.Georginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06116265151107562546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7160421461079825663.post-8425146373440727022009-07-21T06:11:53.979-04:002009-07-21T06:11:53.979-04:00Gosh, there was a lot about it on the national mor...Gosh, there was a lot about it on the national morning news. Our local news carried a lot, but that was probably because astronauts were in town over the weekend here.<br />CBS has lots both on Sunday and yesterday.Carol- Beads and Birdshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11062821517519300477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7160421461079825663.post-11225160628050949492009-07-20T23:32:47.542-04:002009-07-20T23:32:47.542-04:00Yeah!

"The Eagle has landed" and "One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind" will also be in my heart and mind. With the passing of Walter Cronkite a little was said today about the 40th anniversary...Walter Cronkite was such a huge fan and supporter of the space program. I even remember my Daddy making me stay home from school to watch the first manned space flight and splash down! I was six years old and sure wish I kept a journal. I live in Scottsboro, Alabama, and have visited the Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama many times. Those first little space capsules were amazing...such brave men! Thank you for reminding everyone about our spectacular history!<br />Blessings, Lana RicheyLanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11201501115051183210noreply@blogger.com
