I pulled my old newspapers out - 7/21/69 (Land on moon) and 7/25/69 (splashdown).
The Monday paper (7/21) wasn't too bad. The Friday paper (7/25)... I still remember being extremely mad. 138 pages! The size of a Sunday paper! I had 77 dailies to deliver that day! I couldn't get but 20 papers into my bag at one time.
Cleveland Plain Dealer. Sheesh. New 1969 Pontiac GTO. $3200!
I took the papers to the morning meeting this morning. The mission control Ground Controller supervisor also had a Cleveland Plain Dealer paper route.
I put the papers in the historical mission control room on one of the consoles so people on the houston space center tour can see them from the viewing room.
