flashfast2000: Still the coolest thing this country has ever done.

foxtype1973: 'Mgosh! How and the heck did you manage to find all of the CBS Apollo 11 video footage? Not to mention the rest of the networks? My only regret is that you didn't have the CBS News introduction of the coverage, I myself have always remembered the ones that CBS News did during the Apollo Program (I even have some of the openings on audio cassette and open reel), but never on video. I don't know why-but back then, they really had some neat intros! Well, someday someone will post them here....

zellco321: I do have the CBS News inroduction of there Apollo 11 coverage. now thinking about it I will upload the inro here when I get to it hopefully soon.

foxtype1973: Hey, that would be great! The funny thing is that I can still vaguely remember the CBS News intros to the post Apollo 11 Missions from 12-17. The one from Apollo 14 that started with animation of the Wright Flyer at Kitty Hawk, or Apollo 15 that started with a animated pan past the pillars of Stonehenge before panning up at the moon.... It's weird I know, but those intros are about as memorable as the coverage itself--or at least I think so. ;) Keep the search/good work going!

zellco321: Great! I will tell you when I have the Apollo 11 intro up here on You Tube. Thank you very much.

antimatterXXXIII: I was probably watching NBC because the discussion was more technical and less chatty. My 10 year old -then- prepubescent brain also remembers a commercial featuring a girl in a skimpy paper bikini. Like to see that again - 40 years later!
