I really wish that there was a DVD release of the TV network's continuous coverage of Apollo 11, something on the order of what Spacecraft Films does with NASA video. It would show the HBs exactly what the public SAW in 1969, and put to rest this notion that the public didn't know about simulators and that it would show that the public was shown in detail, at the time, how the MESA worked and how television would be broadcast back to earth.
Personally, I would like to see some of the commercials that were broadcast during Apollo 11. They were like Super Bowl ads - tying in their product or service to the moon landing somehow, like Volkswagen showing how their car, since it was not water cooled, would make a perfect Lunar Rover. (Yeah, I know, but we're talking about advertising here!)
