I’m on fire and I’m insane and I’m alright

Digital Family Heirloom

My dad took pictures of the TV when Aldrin and Armstrong walked on the moon. All of our family pictures were preserved as slides, and there were a pile of them, so we never got around to finding them. They were buried in boxes for years.

My sister recently had all the pictures and super-8 movies scanned. I probably first heard about these pictures 30 or more years ago, but this is the first time I’ve gotten to see them. (I was a huge NASA nerd as a kid, so these would have been quite compelling then.)
