SPECIAL live coverage of the Apollo 8 spaceflight's tour of the moon with astronauts James Lovell, Frank Borman, and William Anders aboard. Frank McGee and David Brinkley anchor this live broadcast as astronauts Frank Borman, William Anders and James Lovell describe the surface of the moon as they orbit the moon for the ninth time during their Apollo 8 mission, prior to preparing for their return to Earth the following morning. NASA space information officer, since 1958, Paul Haney, reports. All three astronauts give their impressions as they transmit live from the moon back to Earth aboard their space capsule. Described is a lunar vast lonely vista, a forbidding environment not one where people would want to live and work. Clouds of pumice stone are seen, craters and mountains...an environment devoid of color. James Lovell states that he only appreciates all the more what we have on planet Earth. Additional descriptions by the astronauts include the Lunar sunrise, and sunsets, the moon's physical features including a horizon revealing a bright moon and a black sky. The astronauts pass over the "Sea of Crisis," amazingly smooth. There is a description of the curvature of the moon..."Sea of Tranquility," is observed, and a stark sunrise just coming up on the moon casting long shadows, as well as a revealing landing site that is smooth for future landings. This special broadcast concludes with each of the three astronauts reading from the biblical Book of Genesis. William Anders: "For all the people on Earth the crew of Apollo 8 has a message we would like to send you". "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness." Jim Lovell: "And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day. And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so. And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day." Frank Borman: "And God said, Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so. And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good." Borman then added, "And from the crew of Apollo 8, we close with good night, good luck, a Merry Christmas, and God bless all of you - all of you on the good Earth."#6015: APOLLO 10 SPACEFLIGHT: A JOURNEY TO THE MOON

1969-07-24, NBC, 24 min.
October 1, 1962-May 22, 1992. Johnny Carson, host of NBC's network late-night "Tonight Show" reigned for 30 unprecedented years...five times the combined tenure of Steve Allen, and Jack Paar. Carson was impervious to competition, including efforts to dethrone him by Les Crane, Joey Bishop, Merv Griffin, Dick Cavett, Jack Paar, Pat Sajak, Joan Rivers, and Arsenio Hall. Sadly, very few complete "Tonight Show" broadcasts survive during Johnny Carson's first ten years of broadcasting. Around 1965, through the early 1970's, oldest tapes were first erased systematically by orders from myopic NBC executives, to be recycled for purposes of saving money. Ironically, in many cases, these older master tapes were too brittle, and portended probable drop-outs for re-use after being erased. Subsequently blank after being erased, these older questionable master 2" Quad tapes were either sparingly used or never used again for recording new programming and eventually were discarded. Saving thousands of dollars at the time (wiping master tapes for potential re-use) resulted in losing millions of dollars by NBC in today's marketplace, and more importantly wiping thousands of historic TONIGHT SHOW broadcasts, which contain precious personal anecdotes from political, show business, and sports icons of the past.
Carson monologue. Johnny and Ed chat. Guest: NBC newsman Frank McGee discusses the Apollo 11 space flight to the moon and back and the space program. Johnny confirms great coverage of space flight. Fifty hours of NBC coverage. McGee discusses the challenges of broadcasting such live extensive TV. There is also talk of banning of cigarettes on TV.
