TIME JULY 18 1969 - TO THE MOON - SPECIAL SUPPLEMENT

We have been talking about the Apollo 11 mission 40 years ago and so it felt a bit strange, even weird, when I went to put some papers up on a bookshelf and in trying to find room for them, pulled out a stack of magazines.

What do you think I found on the top of the stack?

And this is why it felt strange, it was a faded red TIME magazine from July 18, 1969.

Why this magazine, jumping to my hand?

Had to open it up and look through the old adds and see what the articles about the Moon were all about.

Having done that thought you might like to get a feel for what was being said back in 1969.

Would I be able to find a copy on the Internet that you could look at if your bookshelf didn't hand you a hard copy?

Yes, yes, here it is. The articles are there.

Sorry I don't see the illustrations that went along the boarders of the articles but you can use your imagination.
