Apollo 14 Part 4 (CBS)

CBS coverage of the launch of Apollo 14. At the Cape are Walter Cronkite and Wally Schirra. Although I have already posted the Apollo 14 launch, I wanted to add it again in this longer look back at the coverage of the mission. Parts 4 and 5 will cover the launch sequence. Unfortunately, this is the only footage I can find, and although it is 30 seconds longer than the 1st video I posted it still doesn't cover a lot of pre-launch coverage. Perhaps one day we will find that too. For now, just enjoy what is here and imagine you are in front of the TV watching the launch coverage.... Its January 31st 1971....

The voice from the Apollo command module sounds more like Alan Shepard than Stu Roosa
