Nice. I was a little kid back when all this happened and like many other kids I was totally caught up in the space and moon missions. I remember watching a lot of launches and seeing the updates on the evening news with my parents. We tuned to the nightly news regularly back then. Special reports following events in the space program were important so we tuned in to catch them. Some days this type of news felt like the only good news on the TV broadcast since we had the war in Vietnam, anti-war protests all over the country, racial issues, assassinations of various political leaders, etc. I could feel the effects of these events on my parents and other adults. I had good parents and so the lessons I took from this period have served me well in how I work with other people. Maybe it's like Willie Nelson sang when he said to "Remember the good times. They're smaller in number and easier to recall. Don't spend so much time on the bad times, their staggering numbers will be heavy as lead on your mind." I still remember the excitement and dread of watching this unfold, not knowing whether they could stick the landing and the immense joy when they confirmed that they were on the moon. My parents made sure to gather all of us so we could watch things like this as they unfolded. Somewhere in a box I have a recording of some events like this - the moon landing and moon walk, Nixon's resignation, etc. I'm glad these guys took the time to sync all of this dialog with the video feed. That brings it all back. I'm a bit older now though I still felt the excitement of watching the first men land on the moon and hearing the confirmation that they made it.
