APOLLO 11 CBS NEWS LAUNCH BROADCAST SCRIPT. Original script, 6 pp, recto, CBS News, July 16, 1969, 8:00 AM to 1:00 PM, entitled "Man on the Moon: The Epic Journey of Apollo 11," with felt-tip pen notes on 3 of the pages. An original copy of the "rundown sheet" for CBS News' coverage of the Apollo 11 launch, which featured anchor Walter Cronkite and astronaut Wally Schirra as co-host. CBS News was the most-watched network coverage of the mission and many still remember Cronkite's reporting of the moon landing. Joel Banow, who was Director of all CBS News live coverage of Mercury through Apollo points out that this copy was used to prompt the use of "film banks" of recorded material that would have been interspersed with the live coverage. He also stated that the handwriting could possibly have been that of Robert Wussler, CBS News Producer in New York.
