I'm assuming CBS will also be posting lunar landing day coverage too. <P>The videotape quality is outstanding. <P><center><iframe width="400" height="225" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/zYnF31el-ik" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen>

This is Christmas in July! Thank you for alerting us all. This is wonderful!

CBS should offer all the footage they have on DVD/Blu Ray, they'd sell big time.

CBS has posted the landing and splashdown recovery broadcasts. All interesting to scan through or watch; ads included are a great throwback.

Nice to see the Spiro Agnew VIP badge around the 4 hour mark of the launch broadcast during an interview with Walter Cronkite. Hadn't seen that before.

I was concerned we wouldn't get the splashdown broadcast, but was very happy when I checked yesterday and there it was. There is so much in there that I've never seen in previous presentations of the recovery broadcast, and I was gratified to see it lasts all the way through President Nixon's departure from Hornet.

Also happy to see that CBS kept the lengthy credit roll at the end, a neat tribute to the dozens and dozens of professionals whose hard work brought this epic journey into the living room (and, 50 years later, into our computers).

I just wish that CBS would release a special Apollo 11 50th commemorative DVD special edition of the original network coverage of the mission (launch, moonwalk, splashdown). It would be neat to be able to see it.
