How Accurate Do YOU Think?

This article is from the July 20, 1969 Tulsa World.

Some of this info may or may not have been "borrowed" from a similar article published in May 1969 in Look magazine, posted here a year ago.

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!.

  

Don't Step in the Moonglow

Of course, in this case "moonglow" is reporterese for "being in the spotlight" of public notice.

This is from the July 20, 1969 Tulsa World.

See you next week, fellow moon-baskers!

  

Not to Worry

As we can read in this article from the July 20, 1969 Bartlesville Examiner-Enterprise, we ding-dang humans can't help but worry.

I think it would be neat to live in "Space Headquarters USA," don't you?  See you Monday!

  

It Was Russian Eyes Before Chinese Ones

Keeping in mind the lackadaisical response to last week's Chinese spy balloon which drifted leisurely across America, all the while snapping pics and hoovering phone-broadcast traffic, which were doubtless immediately beamed home to Peking ...

The above article narrates intentional braggartry on our part, to let the Russkies admire good ol' American know-how.

This clipping is from the July 20, 1969 Tulsa World.  See you next Monday!

  

Getcher Timetable Right Hyar

From the July 20, 1969 Tulsa World, this was how things were supposed to go for Apollo 11.

Are there any historians out there to tell us if everything went exactly on time?  Until such notification, come back next week for a brand-new something.

  

Shame-Faced Blogger

That's because it appears I failed you, fellow space cadets, by neglecting to post last Monday.

Above is an article from the July 20, 1969 Tulsa World to make up the deficit.  And below is something for this week:

The above is from the July 22, 1969 Tulsa World.  Oo-la-oui!

See you next Monday, or else!

  

You Too Can Stamp the Moon!

Or something like that.

It's from the July 20, 1969 Bartlesville Examiner-Enterprise.  It's only appropriate that a stamp commemorating a Moon shot is for Air Mail, eh?

Talk to you next week!

  

A Distant View

As narrated in this article from the July 20, 1969 Tulsa World, three astronauts surveyed the Moon from on high.

See you next Monday.

  

What Would Troy Say Now?

 ...About the scheduled-for-today launch of NASA's Moon rocket Artemis 1!?!

This article is from the July 20, 1969 Tulsa World, where Troy Gordon was a fixture for over two decades.

See you next week!

  

Just a Preview, Mind You

This is from the July 20, 1969 Tulsa World.

Moon Bugs, Not June Bugs!

From the July 20, 1969 Tulsa World:

See you next Monday!  I wonder if descendants or families of these "Tulsa scientists" still reside in the vicinity?

  

All Mysteries Will Soon Be Solved!

Just ask Al Rossiter in this article in the July 20, 1969 Bartlesville Examiner-Enterprise.

As far as I know, the Moon's origin is still up in the air.  Do you know different?

See ya next week.

  

Now That's Optimistic

In this article from the July 20, 1969 Bartlesville Examiner-Enterprise, we learn that the Apollo astronauts weren't cut-rate fictional spies with cyanide in hollow tooths.

The first sentence-paragraph spells out the quiet heroism of these guys.  Spend your last hours, if necessary, helping somebody else, not bailing out like a coward.

See you next Monday, fellow aspirational brave ones!

  

The Vatican, Hell, and the Moon

What a trifecta of excitement!

Both articles are from the July 20, 1969 Tulsa World.  See you next Monday!

  

If It's a Dwarf, It May Be a Hoax!

These two articles ran side-by-side in the edition of Bartlesville's Examiner-Enterprise for Sunday, July 20, 1969.

I wonder how the New Church took the news about the absence of Moon Dwarfs.  Their official site is here.

Regarding the second article, aren't you likewise bemused that anybody would fall for the idea of close-up photos of the Moon, taken from Earth?  Surely if you were educated enough to read a newspaper, you knew that the technology of your day wasn't quite that advanced?

Ponder such musings while you breathlessly await next Monday's post!  See you then.

  

No Jokes About Her Cooking, Please

From the July 20, 1969 Tulsa World:

What's the Word from the Moon?

Well, here are some of them, as published in the July 20, 1969 Bartlesville Examiner-Enterprise:

I like the last one ... "President Kennedy, we made it!"

See you next Monday!

  

Space Station Above the Moon? If Only!

This bit of speculation was printed in the Tulsa World on that magic Sunday, July 20, 1969.

I know I would have loved to see such a thing!  (as shown on TV, of course)

See you next Monday!
