I flew down to Florida and covered the liftoff for the Apollo 11 moon lander. Since no news orgs were sent to the moon for the landing, I covered it like everyone else: NASA via our news operation in NYC. I just rolled tapes on the NASA feed 24 hours a day; I was a tech. :^)

My favorite quote about the moon landing being fake was that Stanley Kubrick was the one who filmed the fake moon landing, but he was such a perfectionist he did it on location.

😀 I had not heard that... nice. I cannot say that there were astronauts aboard that rocket; I cannot prove it flew to the moon and sent a manned lander to the moon's surface... etc. But I can say that that gigantic Saturn 5 rocket took off from Cape Kennedy like lifting a huge building into the air, and the noise was amazing.

We all remembered the perils of the Mercury and Gemini programs, and at that awesome moment of liftoff one couldn't help but pray for the safety of three men who were willing to put their lives on the line for their country and for history... America!
