'Growing up in Los Angeles, nearly everything we saw, including the evening news, was prerecorded. Space launches were not,' writes LATimesTVLloyd

Now, ready-when-you-are cable news means television is always more or less live, or ready to be live. That CNN and MSNBC and Fox News run around the clock — not to mention the perpetually present quasi-journalism of social media — ensures other network programming will rarely be interrupted for breaking news. It also means, in a strange way, that breaking news, even as it comes in torrents, has been diluted, devalued.

There was a dramatic drive to the space program — in television terms, it was both episodic and long-arc — a progress marked by sometimes tragic reversals: Project Apollo began with the death of three astronauts in a training exercise. The landing itself was both a beginning, and the beginning of an end: There were subsequent moon landings, and increasingly better transmissions and new cool machines — hello, Lunar Roving Vehicle.

LATimesTVLloyd The CBS four hour is on YouTube, with commercials. Funny there were commercials during this. The first one I saw was by a paper mfr. with future big star Ali MacGraw in a bikini made of paper ...and wasn’t that the night of Meanwhile, in Chappaquidick....?

LATimesTVLloyd It was boring. Except for the end, of course.
