What a sweet honest emotional moment between Walter and Johnson. I never seen that kind of clarity from Johnson, maybe he was sincere about his caring for humanity after all. This is an absolute treasure.

Uncle Walter and his mendacious narrative of the day: 'And that's the way it is, July 16th, 1969. This is Walter Cronkite, CBS News, goodnight'. America's version of PRAVDA - No thanks.

I was seven years old, with my face glued to our TV set. Every moment of the launch and landing was so precious to me. I wish I had perfectly clear memory of every one of those moments.

My dad was with Boeing at the cape. My family lived in cocoa beach. We were watching the launch in Titusville across the river from the launch pad. No obstructions. Awesome. I was 9 yrs old. I saw many launches, but the moon shot was special. The astronauts later were in a parade through town( no strip joints in those days!) I still have pictures. A piece of history. Thanks pop.

An iconic moment in human history and exploration, nothing less. 50 years later, I still get goosebumps when I see a Saturn V launch.

One of the best things I've ever seen on KZread. Thank you CBS for, not only preserving this incredible broadcast, but posting it for us to enjoy! Bravo!

Wow, here I am 50 years later seeing this for the first time. Amazing, I can only image what it must have been like to watch that live!

A momentous occasion for all the ‘ kids ‘ that saw it. Thankyou for all the people of that age that were there for that day. Thankyou for being here and sharing this day together. All the kids from all over the world. We remember. Best wishes everyone x

Thank you CBS for preserving those old AMPEX 2-inch Quad videotapes. I know what it takes to make a fifty year old videotape still deliver a picture and sound five decades later so I know what an incredible job you did.

I was 8 years old, watched in real time, and I remember it well. Still amazing after all these years.

The launch of a Saturn V is the single most incredible thing I've seen in spaceflight. The power/flames/sound. God Bless America.

@Southeastern777 I'm pretty sure my accomplishments are greater than your. But regarding my comment, it's not disrespect. It's just what happened. I don't even blame it on NASA. They were ordered to do something that was impossible at that time (and still is). Sending humans is not the same as sending robots. Nobody has ever managed to send a squirrel and return it alive, let alone a human. No reptilian, mammal or avian has ever been sent to another planet (or moon) and returned alive. In 1960'es or 2010'es. Never. So of course that NASA engineers failed. Not because they were bad engineers, but because it wasn't feasible. Russians didn't do it either. Europeans, nope. Chinese, nope. Japanese, nope. So I don't disrespect NASA, I'm just saying it was a political game. Politicians asked them to be 99% sure they will send the astronauts there and back. Engineers said "no way, you can get maybe 20%. The only way to guarantee 100% success is if we film it in a studio". And of course the response was: "Make it so".

I love how informative the news used to be. "Here are some facts for you to do with as you please" instead of "Here is how you should think".

We watched NBC's coverage (my father had worked for an NBC affiliate, so it came naturally), and this great to see Walter Cronkite cover this great story for the first time.

Amazing coverage... thanks for sharing!

Arthur Clarke (author of the novel "2001, Space Odyssey") at the moment 3:13:25. Then he was 50 years old.

I read somewhere that in the mid-70s Walter Cronkite had traveled somewhere to cover a political story. He started up a conversation with a local reporter who was also there. He said he envied the local reporter because that man could go anywhere and cover a story with great anonymity. Cronkite said that when he showed up he became the story. That's how it feels here. Cronkite is such an integral part of the Apollo program that it's hard to separate him from the story. But that's why he was so great!

thank you for uploading this CBS

Amazing footage of the most breathtaking achievement in human history.

Nice to see a 50 years old footage, inclusive of some museal commercial ads. Thank you. Much better than some background Netflix when trying to fall asleep. Considered its age, this is an excellent production!

WOW! Thanks for the unedited color rebroadcast. When I saw it the first time we didn't have a color TV and I was only 24 hours old! It was cool when Walter introduced Wally to ME and anyone else who was "just born yesterday "! Wally was smart, I guess those astronauts really did have the right stuff. He noticed that the wall clock had stopped, and he didn't laugh at the idea of a light sail. Loved Arthur C. Clarke too, why everyone insists on calling Rama ,"Oumuamua", is beyond me...and come on, you know when the CNSA gets around to digging up that 'mass' on the far side, it's gonna be a Monolith! Thanks again...

I miss Cronkite. Thanks for this replay.

Mankind’s greatest newscaster presenting mankind’s greatest achievement as it occurs. How fitting. When Peter Jennings died we lost our last great tv newsman. But Walter stood head and shoulders above them all. The most trusted man in America. I feel privileged to have born early enough to have watched “Uncle Walter” tell us “And that’s the way it is...”
