With last Friday's passing of former CBS Evening News anchor Walter Cronkite and today's 40th anniversary celebration of the first landing on the Moon, it was only fitting to share the original unedited live footage of that July afternoon's television coverage. The coverage is narrated by Walter Cronkite and Mercury, Gemini and Apollo Astronaut Wally Schirra. The video picks up at the moment of Eagle's 1202 alarm at around 33,000 feet above the lunar surface.
