re: ...1976
I remember watching the landing on KCET the local educational station, the only station to carry it. Fantastic! Then a short time later when the first picture of the footpad came in, another Fantastic!!! There was no Internet to go to. I was unable to record the show because there were no VCRs then. We were at the mercy of the networks and local news people who had little interest in it beyond a 10 second spot on the news that night. Thankfully KCET had an interest in it. They were always showing the fly-bys of the NASA spacecraft, the Pioneers, Vikings, Voyagers, etc. Perhaps I should consider myself lucky.
