It Was About Time!

Here's the main story from the July 25, 1969 Time.

Here's hoping we revisit that giant leap some time in my lifetime!  See you next Monday.

   

Prometheus and a Carnival

That's the headline on the last page of this excerpt from Time's July 25, 1969 issue.

Do you recall when magazines used special paper, which was bound into specific parts of the magazine -- all because color printing took special methods?

The title of this final page, as I noted above, is a cute summary of the both the sideshow and the science-aspirational aspects of the whole Moon Shot deal.

See you next week!

  

TIME's About It!

(to reverse the title of the fun comedy It's About Time.)

These pages are from the July 25, 1969 issue of Time.  The color-insert pages and a sidebar will be featured another day.

If only we could take a similar "giant leap" towards tolerance and common cooperation today!  I'll try and do my part.  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!

  

How Do You Guard Against the Unknown?

You'll find out in this article from the July 25, 1969 Time.

See ya next Monday.

  

Courage!

It's from the July 25, 1969 Time.

Beyond the profundity of the written word, for the past 50 years I have always felt that this 1909 photo of Robert Peary was emulated in 1932 by Bela Lugosi as the Speaker of the Law in The Island of Lost Souls.

What do you think?

See you next week for more silly seriousity!
