Remembering Apollo 11 in pictures

after which follows a news photograph, and then a link to more news photographs of the launching

Yeah, right, the trip to the moon was awesome, one of the most impressive scientific and geographic feats of the twentieth century; no argument there.

However, Pedro Picasso comes to the bonfire:

1. One of the greatest memories of my life. I lived in Cocoa Beach at the time...

...and watched the Apollo 11 launch from the beach. And all the rest of the moon launches. And when the first space shuttle launched, I actually had a press pass and witnessed that from the big lawn in front of that giant digital clock you see in all the pictures. It was one of the most awesome experiences I've ever had.

One's surprised Pedro Picasso just didn't watch it on television instead.

All that Pedro Picasso knows, comes from television.

Were those Saturn rockets good?

I recall reading something somewhere sometime that the "average" American motor vehicle of, I think it was 1982, had more computer stuff on it than all the computer stuff involved with man's first flight to the moon.

Amazing what the human mind can do.

Got the job done. Also, yes, the the computer you're on right now is at least 1000 times more powerful than the one that controlled the Saturn.

If you want an impressive experience, stand beside one of the rocket nozzles on the Saturn V they have on display at Huntsville.

...or walk along side the one at the Cape. One giant fuel tank after another......or bomb if something goes wrong.

Pedro's an idiot.  This part is a lie....

Quote from:
I actually had a press pass and witnessed that from the big lawn in front of that giant digital clock you see in all the pictures.

The shot from there are all media pool shots. The press isn't in that area.

Also I got to watch Apollo 16 go off from the VIP section of the Cape (which is actually where the giant digital clock is located and there are no press admitted in that area), but that's a story for another day.

Here's pretty neat site to go to about Apollo 11:

Thanks, USA4ME, sir.

I figured there was a lie in Pedro Picasso's anecdote, but I couldn't find it.

But I knew there was either a stretchy or an outright lie somewhere in there.
