I read this as a boy. I'm moved to tears. I'm sorry, that isn't much of a productive comment, but I really have no words for what it feels like to have grown up with that as an example of what mankind could really do.
I still have a special edition of one of the leading Brazilian magazines of the time dedicated to first lunar landing. I've lost count of how many times I've read it.
I now understand why we went there and why we never went back. I feel betrayed and disappointed. Our species has proved itself worthy and our leaders reduced it to a pissing contest.
Maurice Stans was there also. Mitchell and Stans both had living quarters in Watergate. I've watched "All the President's Men" at least 50 times and never knew this. Very cool.
Yeah, that was the one that grabbed my attention. My mum and dad met in 1968 through a computer dating agency in London. Friends are often skeptical that such a thing existed back then. Nice to have this to show them.
I found myself amazed when reading the captivating advertisement copy-write. Not to self, look at published advertising from yester-year when looking for inspiration.
Just took 30 minutes of my time. I actually _felt_ like I was reading about our landing on the moon.
(note: Even though it wasn't the point - this is first time I've read a magazine from (virtual) cover to cover in several years. The advertisements and discussion of prince charles possible wife were fascinating.)
