Apollo 14 was on its way to the Moon in January 1971 and as part of the other wonder of the age, television wasn’t going to miss out, hence TV Times’ blanket coverage of the upcoming event, including extracts from Norman Mailer’s excellent book, ‘A Fire On The Moon’.
TV Times readers also had a chance to put their own question to the ITN Moonbase panel – disappointingly stationed in London rather than on the Moon itself – with Alastair Burnett among those waiting for your question. How did you pose it? It was a rather less than space age method. You filled in a coupon at the bottom of the page, sent it off to ITN – with a stamped addressed envelope – and waited to see if your number came up.
You can fill in the coupon here, as well as spending time at home with Sid James, getting personal advice from Katie Boyle or leafing through Rodney Bewes’ scrapbook.
