Author Topic: 36 years ago today man landed upon the moon... Andy Summers Master Film Handler Posts: 397 From: Bournemouth Dorset United kingdom Registered: Jun 2005 posted 07-20-2005 10:39 AM                 Today is a momentum in the historical first moon landing, July 20th 1969 Neil A. Armstrong, Commander; Edwin E. Aldrin, Lunar Module Pilot; Michael Collins, Command Module Pilot 36 years ago, though I was only 2 years old at that time, and it’s kind of affected me and the excitement of it all those mighty Saturn V rockets lunching of pad 39A. On a journey of exploration and science too, the adventure of a life time and for each crewmen there only be going there once and never again. Making the best of each mission a successful one and gathering vital data, that will studied later back on earth, the mysteries surround are own orbiting satellite that we call the moon, as man as gazed since the dawn of existence. So with other wondrous parts in the vast unknown universe, and dozens of interstellar probes like Pioneer and Voyage series exploring the great mysteries and someday man will travel with newer types of rocket propulsion, like Iron power or maybe something totally new that as eluded man, light-speed…. Man must explore… Magnificent desolation…..

Nowhere in Particular. Registered: Aug 1999 posted 07-20-2005 04:48 PM                     Yeah. I was watching all of the moon landings on our then-new 1969 model Motorola color TV. Has it really been 36 years? Sheesh!  |  IP: Logged Aaron Mehocic Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 804 From: New Castle, PA, USA Registered: Jun 99 posted 07-20-2005 04:53 PM                     Can anybody give an update as to whats going on with the manned mission to Mars or perhaps another return to the moon? I know Mark Gulbrandsen is our resident scholar here on NASA issues.  |  IP: Logged Andy Summers Master Film Handler Posts: 397 From: Bournemouth Dorset United kingdom Registered: Jun 2005 posted 07-20-2005 05:29 PM                 Hear you go guys this I have found at NASA.com there still doing tests, I like that word testing… http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/status.html I don’t think will see a manned landing on mars for a long time, the way that man went to the moon before committing himself for a lunar landing very risky. So who’ “Mark Gulbrandsen” is he a projectionist as well, and like me I to look at the night sky and wonder as I look though the reflector telescope, mars will be close to the earth in August 2005, and it better be clear sky’s all around or I’ll scream…. So hear is a little NASA information Hay Bruce, how long have you been interested in this, as for me since birth, its close to the Apollo 1 accident January 27th 1967 and I was born 21st February 1967, there is no link with the dates but strange that I like the space program…. http://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/planetary/lunar/apollo1info.html  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 07-20-2005 06:09 PM                        NASA can't even get anything off the ground, so you won't be seeing anything for a long time. It's pretty embarrassing  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 07-20-2005 07:09 PM                        There's not really any need to go to the moon again. Been there, done that. I remember that 1969 night like it was yesterday. My family was getting ready to leave on vacation and I was glued to our 12" b&w kitchen TV set, watching the moon landing and not helping carry luggage out.  |  IP: Logged Mike Spaeth Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1129 From: Marietta, GA Registered: Jul 2000 posted 07-20-2005 11:31 PM                        You could always buy into one of the conspiracy theories that say that the lunar landing was a setup ... http://www.apfn.org/apfn/moon.htm  |  IP: Logged Paul Mayer Oh get out of it Melvin, before it pulls you under! Posts: 3836 From: Albuquerque, NM Registered: Feb 2000 posted 07-21-2005 12:57 AM                        Actually, the moon will make a great base for routinely jumping to the rest of the solar system, since it will eventually provide both the raw materials for ship construction and fueling, and a much less deep gravity well to climb out of. We will go there again some day. We have to, assuming we want to see the rest of our system up close and personal. Definitely remember that summer day well. We listened to the live broadcast on the car radio that afternoon, and of course I was glued to the TV (a 27" B&W Packard Bell console) as soon as we got home.  |  IP: Logged John Pytlak Film God Posts: 9987 From: Rochester, NY 14650-1922 Registered: Jan 2000 posted 07-21-2005 12:20 PM                        The week of the first manned landing on the moon, I was showing a mag-striped 35mm print of "2001 - A Space Odyssey" to packed lots at the Grandview Drive-In in Angola, NY. We played it in stereo, mixed down to two channels for in-car listening.  |  IP: Logged Richard Fowler Film God Posts: 2392 From: Ft.

The day of the moon landing the average daily festival crowds of 30,000 dropped to zero; we huddled around a travel worn t.v. in the lead performer's dressing room trailer for the "event".
