Default Auction Site 99p find

While looking in at that well known online auction site, came across a set of transparancies from 1969(?) that were issued by the Daily Express to commemerate the Apollo 11 Moon Landing.

Came in the original plastic case with the original paper insert.

Cost a whole of 99p.

Thought I would share them.

(Mods if these are against the rules please remove)

PS, no tinkering done, just a straight scan

Nice set. Reminds me of the brilliant story about what Neil Armstrong whispered just before his "One small step for a man" comment on stepping onto the moon.

Great find.

It will be a quite a while before we get any more shots of men walking on the moon.

Wow, 99p? People would rather have free digitalised images straight from the Internet than analogue images from the time. It seems incredibly sad that, historically, one of the biggest events of my generations life is so devalued. I remember Miss Cross wheeling a TV into Junior 3 so we could see the repeat images on lunchtime news. Or in all probability a special program as far as I remember Robert Kees only started lunchtime news a few years later. An amazing find, both photographically and historically.

I was in primary school at the time. I remember our teacher brought in a portable TV of her own so we could watch in the classroom. My main memory is of the TV being made from bright orange plastic!

I have some slides of either the moon landing or one of the other Apollo Missions somewhere. Must seek them out.

At the time of the first moon landing I was in West Greenland and remember seeing the moon over a mountain not long afterwards and was pleased that it was still there. Some Greenlanders brought a newspaper with the news of the landing to our Base Camp (they had seen our return from a foray into the mountains we were there to climb) from a village 9 miles away across the sea (and they didn't have binoculars). They really couldn't see the point of going there.

We are still designed as a species to be "far seeing" for survival( catching things and avoiding sabre toothed tigers )

Many years ago I knew an old retired farmer in Aberdeenshire who had had very elementary schooling and had read very little, had worked the land all his life and had done no close work at all and listened to the radio, never having a television.

At 95 he could comfortably read newsprint, albeit slowly due to his lack of reading skills. Of course had he done any of the above things and been a watch repairman all his life then he might still have been able to read without glasses but I rather doubt it. I think the most likely explanation is that he had never had to use his eye lens muscles so they had never deteriorated
