Audio: The Akins Family Watches The Apollo 11 Moon Landing

DAve — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 12:45:08 +0000

Here’s a cassette recording made 40 years ago today by my father as the Akins clan watched the first steps by man upon the moon. I came across this tape probably ten years ago and was surprised that 1) I found it in the first place and 2) that the sound was still OK in places. Unfortunately a good portion of the tape would speed up or slow down during playback, so I ran my original audio rip through Audacity to clean it up as best I can. This is the finished product.

I thought this was pretty cool from a historical perspective, and while the tape ends before Armstrong’s famous “One small step…” line, it still has some interesting tidbits of info from the news coverage.

Big thanks to the DJ at 92.9 Dave FM for playing this and for telling me the title and artist when I was headed to trivia Tuesday night.
