No Longer Vassals?

From the August 3, 1969 Tulsa World, we learn that Apollo has vanquished superstition!

Sometimes I think space is the most wondrous adventure EVER.  Then I look at how we treat each other on Earth and think of how CS Lewis feared mankind exporting his hatefulness out into the rest of the universe.  

What do YOU think?  See you back here on Monday, I hope!

See you next Monday!

Three Moonish Cartoons

The above is the syndicated Berry's World from the Examiner-Enterprise of July 20, 1969.  The joke is that the cooped-up astronauts would want to spend MORE time together.
The one above is from the August 11, 1969 Tulsa World.  Shocking male buttocks!
Back to July.  The cartoon above is from July 21, 1969's Examiner-Enterprise.

See you next Monday!
