Hi ---- The following is excerpted from the March 13th issue of "Broadcasting" magazine (usual copyright stuff applies, I'm sure, so "Thanks and a tip of the SRB" to them). Twenty years after the actual event, Arts & Entertainment cable network will rebroadcast NBC News' coverage of Apollo 11's July 20, 1969 landing on the moon. Entitled "Moonwalk: As It Happened--1969", the footage will air in three parts: "Liftoff" on July 16; "Moonwalk" on July 20, and "Recovery" on July 24. Each part will be aired exactly 20 years to the minute after NBC News first began live television coverage. Hope this is of interest to many newsgroup readers. I was 12 then, and there are probably more than a few people reading this who weren't even born in 1969 --- so this should be a quite an opportunity to see and tape this programming. M.

My parents let me stay up to watch it. They would have probably forced me had I not been so willing. But then I fell asleep right before the big event. Sigh. I will certainly be watching or taping this program! William LeFebvre Department of Computer Science Rice University <phil@Rice.edu>
