Cool historical record find- To The Moon

[Fasterdamnit]

Time-Life Records Presentation
To The Moon: The Story in Sound

Produced by Michael Kapp, Narrated by Sorrel Booke.

6 discs covering beginings of rocketry, WWII rocket programs, beginning of NASA, Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, and ends with Tranquility Base.

Narration, recording of speechs and announcements, interviews, groovy and hip space-age music, talks about other historical events of the era.

I clearly remember being awoken at 3 in the morning to watch the lunar landing.

The box is a little beat but the records look like they have never been out of the slip covers. Waaaaaaaaaaaaay cooool!!

Until this moment I never realized that that guy and Boss Hogg were the same actor.

The things you learn at AK!

That is very cool!:thmbsp: When I was a kid I loved the little floppy record that came in a National Geographic..... "Sounds of the Space Age" or something like that.
Have been a space nut for as long as I remember.
