Apollo 11: What we saw.

I had to wait until yesterday to watch (I hate being an adult sometimes). Loved it and can’t wait until the next episode. Good job Bill!
What a great hour of history. The single best story of mankind’s most far-reaching goals, undertaken by the brightest and bravest of us, facing certain and mortal danger, and undertaken willingly… emphatically…and eagerly.
“…not because they are easy, but because they are hard.” It’s sad our culture and education systems have forgotten how to raise men anymore. But, “good times make bad men, bad men make bad times, bad times make good men…”
“We call it the free world, on account of it being, you know, true.” It’s the subtleties that Bill packs into his writing that are wonderful…”The Darwin Award Finals”, too funny.
I didn’t realize I was so devolved when reloading my cap guns (I had several). I used them regularly until I found that a spring loaded gun (also one my parents bought me) would launch ‘frisbee-like’ projectiles about the size of a nickle from a 20 to 25 frisbee-magazine as fast as you could cycle the firing mechanism by pulling the trigger. Accurate to about 10 feet, could fly a shot out to about 30. They said nothing as I routinely turned my GI Joe, along with his friends, into a target.
“What We Saw” is an amazing story, expertly told. I’ve rarely spent a more entertaining hour being proud of my American Heritage.
Thanks Bill! Great work to you and your team over at ERT… I can’t wait to see the rest of them; I’d be binge-ing them this morning if only they were yet released.

This was really well put together. I found out this was a daily wire project prior to what I thought was public knowledge (it went public the day I found out). I shall keep my source anonymous. They do not work at the DW but their family member does and most of you know his name.
Great job Bill. Very well executed. I really look forward to the next episode. Unlike you I was 17 when Apollo 11 happened. I graduated High School in 1969. My memories are only slightly different than yours in perspective.
Absolutely awesome! I was born in 1991 and so much of my knowledge of the recent past has been self-taught. Beautiful presentation, writing, and structure.
LOVED it! It was an information packed show, brilliantly told.
