A few weekends ago, CBS Sunday Morning did a nice tribute, both to the man (Walter Cronkite), and the mission (Apollo 11). This nicely edited piece has the normal stock footage that you normally see, as well as some choice video and audio highlights from the coverage. As I mentioned in previous posts, I wish that CBS could release more of the "as it happened" video, as did ABC did many years ago. The bits and pieces that appear on youtube are tantalizing. The portions that I did view at the Paley Media Center are in excellent shape. CBS video was recently used in the NASA restoration project of the moonwalk coverage (due to be released sometime this fall). The source material has been well preserved.
I'm out on vacation for a few days. I'll check back in sometime next week.
