watching the coverage of the apollo flights brings back memories of sitting in front of the tv with a cassette recorder taping the sounds of the flights and the newscasters handling the reports.. Thank you for letting us see these broadcasts

I fondly remember this amazing event from nearly 42 years ago.Thank you so very much for putting up these old space program videos especially the ones from the decade of the 1960's.I liked replicating this very same flight on the freeware Orbiter Space Flight Simulator several years ago (It made me feel like I was one of the astronauts experiencing the event).By the way my dad was a military pilot (not an astronaut though) .Love your channel.

I always thought that the reading from Genesis was eloquent and appropriate
