Moon Watch

It's not something for your wrist ...

I do like the Columbus-Magellan comment.

It's from the July 21, 1969 Tulsa World.  See you next Monday!

  

Designer Clothes Indeed

As you might imagine, space duds cost a pretty penny.

While reading this article from the July 21, 1969 Tulsa World, remember that these were 1969 dollars!  According to the American Institute for Economic Research, one of those $30,000 spacesuits would cost $239,223.43 in 2022!

See you next Monday.

  

Hard to Guard!

 After tales of Space Horror like 1968's The Green Slime and 1958's It! The Terror from Beyond Space, and considering the smallpox plague on Amerindians, it was only prudent to isolate astronauts after their return from the Great Beyond.

Please join me in being thankful that there were no 22-day space viruses!

  

This is from the July 25, 1969 issue of Time.  See you next week!

  

More Hope, Less Skepticism Please!

From the July 25, 1969 TIME mag:

And we're still waiting for that whole "Mars and Beyond" thing!
