4. Apollo 11 Address Joint Session of Congress after Historic Flight Speaker John McCormack of Massachusetts introduced the Apollo 11 crew members before a Joint Meeting of Congress. The moment marked the culmination of a determined American effort to defeat the Soviet Union in a “space race” that began with the launch of Sputnik by the Soviets in 1957. “We are honoring today three men who represent the best in America and whose coordinated skill, fantastic daring, and visionary drive have made history that constitutes a turning point of paramount importance in the journey of mankind,” Speaker McCormack proclaimed. Each astronaut—Neil Armstrong, Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin, and Michael Collins—addressed the enthusiastic audience about their successful moon landing on July 20, 1969. Armstrong, the first man to walk on the moon, acknowledged the role of the House and Senate in the successful mission. “It was here, in these Halls that our venture really began”—a reference to the legislation that established the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the funding of the space program by Congress. Before the conclusion of the meeting, the honorees presented Speaker McCormack and Vice President Spiro Agnew with two American flags that had flown over the respective chambers before being brought onto the moon.

2. Cosmos S01E14 Extra A Conversation with Carl Sagan and Ted Turner This 45 minutes long interview of Carl Sagan by Ted Turner was only ever released commercially on the 1989 VHS box set of Cosmos: A Personal Voyage as a special bonus episode 14 and was never included on any of the subsequent commercial release. Carl Sagan and Ted Turner discuss the issues that are vital to the survival of our species on earth. Sagan explains the benefits of the American space program, the fascinating possibility of time travel, and our search for life on other worlds.This new digital transfer was made from a brand new, still sealed copy of the VHS tape and should be an upgrade over the transfer currently floating around. Some new subtitles were also added to make this accessible to non-english speaker.
