Added by: qcrisp327I may be wrong but I think it was in 1969 when Neil Armstrong set foot on the moon and I was watching the Wizard of Oz on the other Channel. It was years later that I met Jim Irwin and he changed my life, Listening to him I realized that he had seen no other recourse than Christ as the truth to life, standing on the moon and often up to his belly in grey dust, eating dehydrated bananas and such..

Added by: DonaldColeI was NASA Spacecraft Photographer. I had an assignment to photograph the switch positions, etc. inside of the Apollo 11 command module, during the countdown, prior to entry of the three astronauts.
About the Apollo 1 disaster on LC-34, I had been assigned, on over-time, to take motion pictures of that late afternoon pre-launch test. At the last minute, I was told to go on home, because "they couldn't get any light up there." ( I had my own desk inside the Lc-34 blockhouse. )

Added by: scoester956Late in the Apollo 11 countdown a LH2 leak on the SIVB third stage replenish valve threatened to scrub the launch. A red crew led by Boeing engineer Jack Kramer with Firing Room support from Steve Coester could not get the leak stopped by normal methods so they froze the valve with hard hats full of water stopping the leakage. Coester then wrote the Procedure Change Request to continue hydrogen loading using a non standard valve which permitted the Countdown to continue. A little footnote to history.

Added by: ROBERT388Truly one of the most memorable events of my life. I attended the liftoff viewing from Titusville were we were hosted by Officer Pat Parker of the Tiitusville Police Department. Pat, his wife and mother were such great host. This event portrayed America at its best, the technological awesome power and the warmth of its people. I still have some souveneirs of the event.

It is now used for transporting Shuttle vehicles, and will be modified to carry the next generation of space vehicles. This vehicle consists of four double-tracked crawlers, each 10 feet high and 41 feet long. Each of the 8 tracks contain 57 shoes per track and each tread shoe weighs about one ton. Photo Julian Leek
