I’m asking. I have heard it before, but can’t place it.

[LS]

HA! Found it. It’s John Stewart, “Mother Country.”

What was the song that was Buzz Aldrin was playing on the small spinning weightless tape recorder? It sounded country but I couldn’t place it.

“Willow Weep for Me”

It was “Mother Country” by John Stewart.

I wish I’d seen it in IMAX. Liftoff, transposition and docking, the lunar landing, and the final docking and LEM castoff would be even more impressive.

Over the years I’ve seen some very well done documentaries on CNN.

And for breaking stories all over the world, CNN usually has the best coverage as it is happening... before they can start adding their editorial and political agenda to it all, they're usually quite good, and generally better than the competition.

Buzz Aldrin’s Race Into Space bump!

[Teacher317]

You are correct, it was Apollo 12 that was hit by lightning during the ascent.

Thanks for the post. I remember typing on an old Remington typewriter all the NASA updates. I was converted from a young pubescent boy to a geek during that first mission. BTTT.

‘Enormity” means a great wrong.

Not according to my dictionary!

(I just saw the movie in the theaters, for a special showing today for the 50th Anniversary.)
