BBC Coverage of Apollo 8

[robertgrassi]

@nilbud i know it is silly to come here to say that, and i am sorry to disturb the cult, or the entertainment, but finnally the comment boxes is a nice place to be

[Lookup2Wakeup]

Brings back the memeries of a very existing time as a boy.

[kargaroc386]

and this was on 405 lines

[DeepDeepSpace]

It's funny how Bernard Lovell talks without moving his lips.

LOL

[phoneix91]

where is the complete footage of it.

[lunarmodule5]

I have posted the footage broadcast just before this

[GusF]

Was this on Christmas Eve in 1968?

[fokjock]

yes, there is very little studio coverage left-he BBC would like to have kept more, but it was dstroyed-only hope is amateurs having taped more.

[101southsideboy]

@GusF  yes it was Christmas eve 1968

[robertgrassi]

my work is a proposition for those who would like to get in touch with reality but were excluded from it, like me, before i realised that there were no real victims on the 9/11, i do that under my real name and i have an artistic reputation to defend, i would never dare saying such things if i was not absolutely sure of what i am saying, it would cost me my artistic credibility, that is my self respect

[MightySaturn5]

Robby, my work is also a proposition.

My artistic masterpiece is a video I took of me taking a wet,6 lb. peanut riddled shit into your late mothers mouth while holding a gun to her head and sweetly informing her that she couldn't swallow for 15 minutes as tears were rolling down her swollen cheeks.

After you view the video I'm sure you'll agree the funniest part was at 14:27 when her eyes rolled back into her head like a Vegas slot machine and quarters dribbled out of her ass.

in 1958 the xmas greetings were made by a us presidential voice's recording supposedly played from the first us satellite, the majority took it as a real event, even if it was an hoax, no satellite, no tape (!!!) recorder, just another obscene radio show

the question is: why are the space program so much less xmassy nowaday

the answer is: it would sound too suspicious, too tacky to be true

the word "mission" was already much too much liturgical

[kargaroc386]

in glorious 405 black and white, with AM mono sound

[robertgrassi]

the unacceptable is that 3 scientists in the hights of danger do read (very poorly by the way) a religious text in live prime time

it was acceptable in 68 only as an escape from murder responsability in nigeria

i guess those who did not accept this responsability did not believe in this fackery either

taking these images as true is the very action of brainwashing

[sja11]

robertgrassi,

you may want to learn how to speak yourself or write a legible sentence thats not riddled with spelling and grammatical errors before you criticize how someone reads.

[robertgrassi]

my worse average was english and my best mathematics

still apollo 4 readings are lazy and self conscious

there is no need of the ears of a musician to hear their sulky voices perform in fake religious extasy, in this situation supposed to be scientific, it should be called unlimited lying

(i have been fooled 40 years and i am very very very angry)

[MightySaturn5]

My dear Robert, there is no reason to be so hostile.

It would seem you're still upset that I wrote my name in cursive in boiling hot jizz across your late mothers forehead.

Since the afore mentioned happened quite a while ago it may be time to let go of the past...smile and know that everything is ok, have faith that what happened to your late mother was because she gave birth to a ignorant,angry piece of fecies and regretted it up until the end.

Poor Rob, no need to be "very very very angry"

[robertgrassi]

shut the fuck up

[FaerieCrone]

Whatever happened to TV presenters like these who spoke the Queen's English?

[shelle1even]

My GOD Patrick Moore Is so Young! LOL! Very Interesting Man! Hes experienced the The highest points In Astronomy! Great points also made by him in this Video! A rare Video at that! Thanks! Jim, Bill & Frank we thank you cause you were truly the first Men on the Moon!

[JohnLenardWalson]

Patrick Moore a GREAT man many thanks to him and the bbc for the best tv show ever made if it was not for Patrick Moore

i would of not started looking myself at the stars and planets.

its a big universe we all live in.

[hardakml]

Good to see them again - the BBC A-team for Apollo. James Burke, (now Sir) Patrick Moore and (formerly Sir, now deceased) Bernard Lovell. They were joined later by Gene Shoemaker. Patrick was dead right when he said this would be part of our scientific heritage. It is!

[capsule35]

At the time of writing (January 2010) Sir Bernard Lovell is happily still with us, aged 96. He led a successful campaign just a couple of years ago to save the famous Jodrell Bank Observatory from threatened closure..

[crediki]

Cool, Thank's this is great

It's almost Monty Python

[PatGleeson123]

I'd love to know where you got this too :-) Brilliant stuff, real history !

[ludocrat]

Wonderful!
