Interesting stuff - I did not know about the preserved negatives in cold storage. I’m glad there are some who are always thinking ahead to preserve history. Thanks for sharing.
Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, Anyone else watching these documentaries?

I'll wager they are stored here.

I've been watching as much as I can, any channel I can find something on. I didn't learn of Apollo 11 until days after it happened, I was "in the field" in Nam. Didn't get to see any of it until much later
Thanks for your service!!!
Semper Fi!
I read about the moon landing in Stars and Stripes when I got to the rear about a week later
As a side note, speaking of the salt mines in Hutch above, you all should go on a day trip to the Cosmosphere in Hutchinson, KS. They have a planetarium, and a space museum.
They have an Redstone Mercury rocket and a Titan II Gemini rocket outside and an SR71 Indoors.

I'd really like to know what your thoughts and feelings were after reading that article.
I honestly don't recall, it was 50 years ago
I'll wager they are stored here.

I don’t doubt they are stored there. A cousin that owns a printing company with a contract for McConnell AFB stores his paper there.
He took me through it several years ago. Hollywood stores vintage film in one part, but there is also a government restricted area that is sealed.
Lots of mushrooms grown there too when we toured.
Every time I watch this 8 Days to the Moon re-enacted movie I see something different
Right before Armstrong said, "Houston, Tranquility base here, the Eagle has landed." he said, "413 is in." It took a bit but I found it was referring to the computer input to memory to input the exact attitude of the Eagle on the moon. This input was in case of an emergency abort being necessary.
I also realize common sense tells you they have to depressurize the LM in order to get out of it. What i want to know is do they waste the atmosphere to the moon by venting or do they pull a vacuum inside. We all know from science classes we cannot pull a complete vacuum. I would imagine to save as much breathable O2 as possible they would pull as much as they could then vent the rest to gain equilibrium. Just guessing here.
