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.

Guys, I am afraid this anniversary is giving me space fatigue, the same as the first time around.

Christopher Columbus Kraft Jr.

U or Astro-U? (James Redd and the Blecchs), Tuesday, 23 July 2019 01:25 (six years ago)

RIP. That was a dude who got things done.

There’s a doc on Prime about the Apollo mission control guys and Kraft seemed like the epitome of an oldschool hardass boss. Even in old age he seemed like he still could put a verbal walloping on you if he wanted to.

The astronauts donned the BIGs, jumped into the raft, and, as rehearsed, began spraying and scrubbing themselves down with disinfectant.

We are live here at the Mobile Quarantine Facility (MQF) on the USS Hornet as President Nixon stands outside the window and jokes with the three astronauts.
