As a kid, I was riveted to Jules Bergman’s descriptions of every Apollo mission, but then we had no other sources of information. This topic is making me nostalgic for my childhood, when we would watch something like Apollo and it would spark our imaginations. I remember building models of the command module and the lunar module, and wondering what it must be like to go to the moon.

Same here. I watched many space missions on ABC with Frank Reynolds and Jules Bergman and built lots of models from Mercury through Apollo.

I sometimes wonder how many kids today even build models anymore. I bet it’s not many. When I was a kid, almost every boy I knew was into building some kind of models. Some liked cars, others like airplanes and aerospace more. I built a little bit of everything, but mostly aircraft and spacecraft.

Of course, there was also an unwritten, unofficial disposal method once particular models had reached the end of their lifespan (when they were no longer interesting). It usually coincided with 4th of July and involved stuffing them full of firecrackers, imagining some scenario in which they were engaged in battle or something, and blowing them up.

The boots of astronaut Neil Armstrong, the first man to walk on the Moon and the prints on photographs doesn't match.

What's going on?
