Really am enjoying all that, brings back many memories. My Mom was a huge fan of the space race, we watched with her all the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo flights that we could find on TV. I was in the 9th grade 50 yrs ago and I still remember watching the whole day on TV. We even recorded much of it on reel-to-reel and I dug out my old tapes today and listened to some of it. I will sit down on Saturday and listen to the whole tape! It was the TV audio recorded on the tape. I also did not remember hearing ANYTHING about the Russian Luna spaceship that was heading to the moon at the same time. It crashed while our men were on the moon only 500 miles away from them! They were planning to land their un-manned ship on the moon, scoop up some rocks, and return to earth before our Apollo mission to beat us at getting something back from the moon. Of course, it crashed like most of their lunar probes so they failed.</blockquote>
