Apollo 11 on tape!




Hi Mark,

I was most thrilled by your posting that you have the original CBS TV audio
track from Apollo 11 on tape! I've been looking for these unedited pieces of
history for a long time and turned up some interesting samples: a very poor
recording from German TV, a funny one from Austria (where the announcer
translates "The Eagle has landed" as "Der Igel ist gelandet" = "the hedgehog
has landed" ;-) and even a videotape from ABC News, which, unfortunately, is
so heavily edited that it doesn't recapture much of the actual excitement. Now
what *you* have sounds more convincing: Would it be possible to get a copy?

All expenses paid, of course!

Many thanks, Daniel (now in Chile, normally in Germany, but with a
connection in Cambridge, MA, USA)
