I love the part where Nixon picks up a primitive landline rotary dial phone & speaks to the Astronots in real time, with NO DELAY, from a quarter of a million miles away. What amazing 1960s technology, eh? It would be great if reporters of today had that astounding technology in 2019, so they would not have to wait to respond to questions asked of them by their studio anchors. 😜

Actually; there was some delay; since radio waves travel at light speed: about 300,000,000 meters per second.
The moon is about 384,000,000 meters away from earth.
