Speaking of sub-thunderbirds models, over the weekend I was just thinking of a perennial school or Cub Scout trip taken to the Hall of Science in Queens where they showed a film about space travel - Frank Capra’s last, apparently- followed by a cut from film to real life in which two such models docked high above our heads.

― Ask Heavy Manners (James Redd and the Blecchs), Tuesday, 16 July 2019 14:09 (six years ago)
The Great Hall was built for an exhibition sponsored by Martin Marietta called Rendezvous in Space, which culminated with a live demonstration of a docking between a model “space taxi” and an orbiting laboratory, suspended from the ceiling above. The show began with a documentary film produced by Frank Capra (his final film.) Narrated by Danny Thomas, featuring Mel Blanc (uncredited) as the voice of the moon.

CBS feed appears to have stopped. but there's a 4 hour rewind window if you want to see the launch 'as it happened'. (also, miss universe trails)

Update 1 on moon documentaries go/no-go PBS American Experience “Chasing the Moon” three parter = GO so much awesome footage AND voiceovers, no talking heads 😃covers similar ground to the Donovan book

lot of close-ups where you're thinking "so how much of this so-called lunar module is not just made of baco-foil?"
― Ask Heavy Manners (James Redd and the Blecchs), Thursday, 18 July 2019 13:05 (six years ago)
Chasing the Moon has been showing on bbc4 in 6 parts over 3 nights, last pair tonight.
First two I found dragged a bit, too much about cold war and racial politics in Gemini / Mercury and didn't even get to Apollo. Second two were better, Apollo 1 audio was shocking but it finished with a great bit on the Apollo 8 wives.
I'll repeat my recommendation for 13 Minutes To The Moon podcast on BBC world service which has a ton of detail. The impatient can listen to episode 10.
I'm also finding the channel 4 realtime live stream on YouTube really relaxing - 6 days(!) of audio feed, the odd bit of video now and then.
― koogs, Thursday, 18 July 2019 16:08 (six years ago)
saw Apollo 10 today, the capsule anyway. apparently it's been in the science museum on loan since '76 but i must've overlooked it all these times.
look at his happy little face:

Chasing the Moon is worth it just for the footage that hasn't really been shown anywhere else in any systematic way. Somehow I hadn't known that Ed White's wife took her own life.
13 Minutes To The Moon is great but my best experience right now is to put on the new expended reissue of Eno's Apollo album with the realtime mission audio from https://apolloinrealtime.org/11/ over it.
