Forty Years On



Apollo 11 and Apollo 12: 1969. I still have a fair number of artifacts from then, forty years ago. And I still dig. This is a 45 RPM record called Cosmos 70. "Initiation a la Hi-Fi." Side I: PREMIERS PAS DE L'HOMME SUR LA LUNE VOL APOLLO 11. Side II: Special Audition Decca Phase 4 Stereo, "The Magnificent Seven" (Theme du Film) and Verdi's Rigoleto. Strange days . . .
Today's Rune: Gateway.

Have you seen the replacement vehicle for manned space flight once the shuttle is retired for good?

Talk about going forwards by going backwards.

I've still got some newspapers from that era around.

Erik, I remember that summer well. We were fascinated by the "Apollo's".
