But Is It Expeditious?

That's a joking riff on the Prairie Home Companion's Powder Milk Biscuits:  "They're Tasty and expeditious."  This article is from the July 21, 1969 Tulsa World.

However, their diet did NOT contain "Space Food Sticks."  While I bought some about five years ago (and ate them all), one blogger reports they've been discontinued.

Such as progress, me hearties!  See you next Monday.

  

I Call This One "Uncle Medals"

Because these two squibs ran one above the other in the July 21, 1969 Tulsa World.

No word on whether any of those previous gold medals have since turned up in Moscow pawn shops.  See you next Monday!

  

If You're in the World, You Can See It!

That was the promise of this snippet in the July 20, 1969 Tulsa World.  

Of course, folks nowadays would turn up their noses at such grainy footage in black and white with visual and audio dropouts.  

And folks a hundred years from now would talk with similar disdain about the Trendies' iGotchas and Dogmented Reality stuff.  Such is Progress!  See you next Monday!.

  

That's a Rich One!

From the August 4, 1969 Newsweek, here's a one-pager from scientist Robert Jastrow about how he hoped the world would derive benefits from Apollo research.

He was right about some of this.  Here's a 2022 article covering the topic.  Another survey says, "Econometric studies estimate that Apollo returned five to seven dollars to the United States' economy for every dollar invested in it." source

So, there are some upsides to learning things.  Students, take note!
