Goodbye Walter Cronkite
Goodbye Walter Cronkite - just three days before the fortieth anniversary, he has left us. And that's the way it is today, Friday July 17th, 2009. Good bye Mr. Cronkite, the world will never be quite the same without you.
Goodbye Walter Cronkite

Dear Inside KSC: Walter Cronkite: "The" Voice of the 20th century journalist. His life and times will forever be remembered as they are now written in history, Much more than Walter Cronkite's historical importance was his contribution of presenting the news with honesty and integrity. The many people who lived during those turbulent years, Walter Cronkite's humble presence on the old black and white t.v.'s and then the new colour t.v.'s will be forever remembered with much fondness as Walter projected a warm image of a real human being with the capacity to report the news objectively and with reverence to the humanity. Walter Cronkite was like a dad who told it "like it is" and "as I see it" with forthrightness and kindness. Walter Cronkite's smooth fatherly voice felt comforting, knowing it was coming from a person wholly concerned and trustworthy with the state of humanity, Walter Cronkite's sincere way of reporting the news with much caring humanity did calm nerves of the boomer kids often overwhelmed with violent news. After we lived through the Vietnam War, the Cold War, JFK, RFK, and MLK's assassinations, as well as the joyous times, such as the Apollo 11 moon landing July 20, 1969. It would be fitting to name a reporting room at NASA "The Walter Cronkite Room" as a continuing tribute to this wonderful world respected journalist of highest standing and merit. Thank-you Walter Cronkite for being a wonderful human being and having been there with me during so many poignant times in history, you will be sadly missed and never replaced or forgotten. jajo--- In inside_ksc@yahoogroups.com , "Alex Michael Bonnici" <ambonnici@...> wrote:

STS-127 Launch Video
Posted by: "Roger Smith" roger@jadebox.com jadebox

Here's a video I made of the recent STS-127 launch. It includes stills and
some video from NASA, but most of it is high-speed (slow-motion) video I
took using my EX-F1 camera. I think the result is pretty cool:
http://www.highspeedvideo.tv/ archives/ 8-Space-Shuttle- Endeavour- Launch-STS- 127.html
We were viewing the launch from the "Turn Basin" viewing area. It's just to
the east of the Vehicle Assembly Building - actually a little closer to the
launch pad than the press area with the famous countdown clock. Other than
the astronauts, only the Close-Out Crew, security, and fire resucue people
were closer to the pad than us.
I didn't want to miss seeing the launch with my own eyes, so I mounted the
camera on a tripod and just pointed it in the right direction. I framed the
image with the Close-Out crew in the foreground which I think worked well.

Re: Walter's Perch at KSC

Thanks for the views of where he worked.
Several years ago, I saw a space programme documentary, in which Cronkite was interviewed. He recalled watching the first Saturn 5 launch from his KSC studio, through the big picture window, and how the tremendous noise caught them completely by surprise.
He said the ceiling tiles in the studio collapsed and the window vibrated so hard they thought it was going to break, so he and a couple of his crew put their hands against the glass to damp the vibrations.
After the launch, a NASA technician came in a told them not to touch the window, as it was made to vibrate and stopping it doing that could make it break...
A space encyclopedia I once had said the the LC39 sound suppression system was not used for the first Saturn 5 launch and that a geophysical observatory in New Jersey, 17,00 kilometres away, picked up air waves from the Saturn.
"In The Shadow of The Moon" screened on our TV last night. I have it on DVD, so I didn't watch the programme, mostly because you are just getting into the swing of it - and this applies to anything interesting on TV - when you are interrupted by commercials for bodily functions and all the wonderful things you can do with them.
The opening clip is a slow-motion Saturn 5 liftoff. I cannot watch one of those without thinking about the incredible achievements and the squandered opportunities that characterised the manned space programme in those years, even though dwelling on might-have-beens is an exercise in futility. For all that, I was a witness to those times and and I will always be grateful for that.

Jim
Thank you for sharing the photos.great pics.great memories. CBS did us proud
during the entrance of NASA's space exploration to our local neighbor. And,
Walter Cronkite shared all our emotions of those events during his time.
Let us pray that a video broadcast media will again join us in our return to
man journeying to our neighbors.

VCR Alert 1 old & 1 new

HISORY CHANNEL for Moonday July 20, 2009. The History is adding 1 program to their schedule:
Live from '69: Moon Landing:
This special takes viewers back to July 1969 to experience the actual CBS News/Walter Cronkite coverage of man's first lunar landing. Using minimal editing and leaving the original footage untouched viewers will feel as if they are watching the CBS coverage in July of 1969. While today we know the outcome of Apollo 11's mission it was not a given then. This will become evident watching Walter Cronkite and his colleagues as they watch the historic lunar mission unfold before them.
Airing at:
Monday, July 20 08:30 PM ET
Monday, July 20 11:00 PM ET
Tuesday, July 21 12:30 AM ET
Tuesday, July 21 03:00 AM ET
Also, don't forget the docudrama:
Moonshot:
Relive the breathtaking story of Apollo 11, the first manned landing on the Moon. Interlaced with original NASA footage transferred to high definition, this two-hour special puts viewers aboard the rocket and takes them on the eight-day round-trip to outer space. Life behind the scenes and edge-of-your-seat moments in space are dramatized in this film that stretches from the crew's earliest days at NASA to the moment when Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin stepped on the Moon. From home life and families, to the argument over who would be the first to walk on the lunar surface, this is the remarkable story of one of the most chronicled events in history.
Airing at:
Monday, July 20 09:00 PM ET
Tuesday, July 21 01:00 AM ET
