In Response To: Heuer helps get to the moon ()


Jim:

That is genuinely interesting, and I know someone (in Chicagoland) who is likely to buy the DVD, go through it frame-by-frame, and share the most interesting screen-shots with his fellow enthusiasts. Our man in Chicagoland is particularly interested in the space program and Omegas, and I am certain that he is well-qualified to undertake the review of the program, keeping his eyes open for both brands.

Where are you, Chuck?? Do you read us??

Thanks to Jim for the interesting message.

Jeff

: I just watched the History Channel special
: "Failure Was Not An Option" a
: derivitive from the book of the same title
: all about the Apollo mission control years.

: Well, there were several archival footage
: videos of guys in the control room who were
: wearing Heuer Carrera watches.

: Best part was that they showed a vintage, late
: 60's stopwatch which was used to count down
: the remaining fuel as the Apollo 11 Lunar
: module overshot the landing zone. The
: mission controller had 15 seconds of fuel
: left before the landing!

: Omega may be the first wrist watch to land on
: the moon, but a Heuer got it there!!
