| 1450624 | 2018-06-18 01:35:00 | I also have the 1969 commemorative national geographic , complete with one of those thin floppy ~records~ that had the landings audio . Ive got plenty of old Space/Nasa themed postage stamps sitting under the house , rotting away . Sadly will eventually all end up at the local tip :-( ah, the memories . |

Although I can remember the Apollo 8 going AROUND the moon, I cannot remember Apollo 11 landing. (Probably because it was not live on TV here in Upside-down land.) |

| 1450626 | 2018-06-18 02:03:00 | it was not live on TV here in Upside-down land I think it was - I can remember my husband glued to the telly that day (it was co-incidentally his birthday that day - I was pregnant with our first son). |

| 1450627 | 2018-06-18 02:31:00 | Sorry, it wasnt live :-) www.nzherald.co.nz "When men first set foot on the moon 48 years ago today, there was no live TV feed of the momentous event to New Zealand. Instead, Kiwis were glued to their radios, and had to wait for a delayed TV broadcast in the early evening, after a Royal New Zealand Air Force bomber had delivered the tape from Sydney" things were quite different tech wise in the late 60's . I remember visiting relatives in the SI, and TV programs being 4 weeks behind, as they sent the weeks programs down to the line to other cities for broadcasting (After Ak saw them) . |

| 1450628 | 2018-06-18 03:30:00 | Yeah - also heard it broadcast in a large wall-built radio at primary school, sitting in the class room. Don't know if it was true that Neil Armstrong pulled rank to Aldwin so as to be the first one to walk on the moon. Watch some of the vid posted by SJ. Bit odd that the module did not blow any significant dust or formed a depression when landing. | kahawai chaser (3545) | ||
| 1450629 | 2018-06-18 04:08:00 | Wow - 49 years ago, it seems like yesterday. We listened to a live radio link at work, and it seemed to take forever before Neil Armstrong climbed out and did his "One small step..." routine. Funny thing is, when I read this thread I realised that my memory had conflated the audio and video presentations so that I had been sure that we saw the video live. Not so. As other have said, we had to wait for the tape to be flown across from Australia to get the pictures. |
