I have just been reading peoples memories on the BBC web page. Where were you on the 21 July 1969?
My DH was working at Tidbinbilla Tracking Station in Canberra, Australia. working for NASA. Although he was helping to track the men on the moon it was not until 20 years later that he saw the film of the men landing on the moon. The reason for this was that there was no TV at the station for the men to see this. DH saw the first pictures come back from Space from the Mars mission, Mariner 4, I have just asked him about, said it was really slow coming back in bits per second. I was working at the time, but took the day off, went into Canberra to get some cash at the bank, there were TV's at the bank, I was the only customer so went back home to watch the TV. There did not have a video recorder then. Jean To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
