That looks absolutely fantastic! Ed, Joe, you HAVE to fly the Saturn V again at Oktoberfest, please.

COOL! I had not heard about the movie. I can’t wait to see it.

As for the Saturn there is still a bit of work to be done and we have not ordered motors. Oktoberfest is at risk.

I was 16 when Apollo 11 landed and NARAM-11 was the same year, within weeks of each other. I remember going outside and looking at the moon and saying to myself, “WE’RE THERE!” Definitely science FACTION, definitely an exciting time. Later, early 70’s, my college roommate said that he and his dad had an invitation to go and see one of the moon launches, and I could go along… and for whatever reason, I declined that offer. It has bothered me from that point on. WHAT A TIME FOR OUR COUNTRY AND MANKIND! WHERE is it being shown? When I try the theaters link, I get nothing.

It will show at all the theaters just like any other movie as far as I know. It opens sometime in September.

If you watch the preview, you will notice a frame of a woman holding a point and shoot film camera just before liftoff. The technology back in those days was nothing to what it is now and they still landed on the moon. Incredible!

Hey, my friend, we did with what we had. Hee, hee… Can’t wait to see the old NASA footage… almost as good as Doug’s (eyeinthesky’s)!

That is the thing though, they took what they had and not only did what they could with it but went even further with it. They turned a caterpillar into a butterfly, plain and simple. There was technology, but that was astonishing!

I wasn’t as OLD as Bruce, but close. A father of one of Nathan’s friends from school worked for NASA during the Apollo program. He was one of the guys that helped the Astronauts into the capsule and strapped them in. When he told me that I was amazed. But incredibly, he didn’t seem to think it was that big of a deal. Weird.

I was 9 years old and my parents took me to see the Apollo 11 liftoff and then we jumped in the car and drove 18 hours straight through back home so I could see the landing and moon-walk on TV. Did it again when I was 12 for Apollo 17, though we stayed in a motel and while I watched TV, my parents and sister went to Lion Country Safari and Busch Gardens or something like that. I couldn’t care less – I was glued to the tube for EVERY manned space flight from Mercury through Apollo and the first couple Shuttles.
