In tribute to both the 40th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing and the passing of Walter Cronkite, blogger Jason Kottke has set up a page on his site where you can view the original Cronkite-anchored CBS newscast "40 years to the second after it originally happened." Coverage for the lunar landing begins at 4:10 p.m. followed by the first moonwalk (no, not that one) at 10:10 p.m. Kottke credits the real-time replays on other sites like WeChooseTheMoon.org and the ApolloPlus40 Twitterfeed for the inspiration, adding: "I hope that with the old time TV display and poor YouTube quality, you get a small sense of how someone 40 years ago might have experienced it."

They should have brought Cronkite with them and left him up there.
Because...?
Don't bother.
Because Ides represents Gothamist's far, far, far, far right wing and can't abide by someone who's intelligent, opinionated and unwilling to blindly repeat the government line.
No, because he undermined troops in the field and his broadcasts might as well have been press release from Hanoi. Don't worry, your marxist college professors would be proud of you now.
