Walter Cronkite And the Moon Landing
TW: Obviously tonight's post needs to be the landing on the moon, but it provides a nice mash-up of the landing with the late, very great Walter Cronkite. His reaction (along with ex-astronaut Wally Schirra) is classic. I always like these clips which focus on the actual footage created when the event occurred without post-facto filtering. The "CBS simulations" also reminded that most of the space travel I saw as a child was in fact simulation and imagination.
