You bought tickets for this month? Eeesh. That's frustrating. Gotta know these things brah.

Yeah, I was just getting super excited because a friend from Australia is visiting. I knew it was ST and I knew ST is in Arizona but I in my excitement I just had a total brain fart. The way the listings were posted it sounded like it was in Wrigley. It even used an image of Wrigley for the ticket options.

Total lapse of concentration.

Where were you when you first heard about people landing on the moon? How was the occasion like back then?

[/OT]

Last May, 9 million people watched on TV as Arsenal beat Aston Villa at Wembley to retain the FA Cup. In April* 1970, exactly nine months and nine days after the Apollo 11 moon landing, Chelsea beat Leeds United in the first FA Cup final replay since the year The Titanic hit that iceberg. That game attracted 28.5 million viewers. The huge difference in audience figures is partly explained by the fact that The Cup Final was a national event back then but also by the fact that there were only three TV channels, two of which were broadcasting the match! Pretty much everyone in the country who watched telly that night, watched the football.

That's how it was too for the climax of the space race in the late sixties. It was a race, it was exciting and it received saturation coverage in all forms of media. Indeed, at a time when UK TV broadcasts didn't start until gone midday and were off air again by midnight, there were often special Apollo programmes outside of those hours.

At school we did lessons about it and were marched into the hall to watch the TV coverage every time a major event was being broadcast during school hours. That didn't only apply to Apollo 11 either. I remember for example sitting cross legged on the floor of the hall watching Apollo 8 blast off. Apollo 8 was important because it featured the first flight to the moon. They didn't land of course but its crew were the first humans to leave Earth orbit and to see the 'dark' side of the moon. It was also important in the sense that the Soviets gave up after that mission and conceded that they would not be ready to put a man on the moon before the Americans.

After that the dates and mission objectives of all the flights were mapped out and everybody knew what would be happening and when. The landing, when it came, was not something people heard about after the event. It was something people expected and planned for weeks in advance. It's not a question of remembering where you were when it happened, it was a question of knowing where you going to be even before it happened. Personally, I was at home and was allowed to stay up very late that night. As I remember it however nothing much happened. They landed and then nothing, for hours and hours it seemed.

 

*April, not May as is traditional, because the FA scheduled that season to finish early so the England squad would have more time to prepare for their defence of The World Cup in Mexico that summer.
