CBS News Broadcast Of Apollo 11
On July 16, 1969, the most powerful rocket ever built and the only launch vehicle to carry humans out of low Earth orbit blasted off from the Kennedy Space Center with a three-person crew. The destination was the moon, and five days later on July 21, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin would be the first humans to set foot on our nearest celestial neighbor. 50 years later, CBS has released its four-hour broadcast of the Apollo 11 launch, giving us a window into what it was like to watch the historic moment unfold on live TV.
