Surveyor Makes Space History (Universal Newsreel, Jun 1966)

Description

The original release sheet reads: SURVEYOR MAKES SPACE HISTORY SURVEYOR A lands on the Moon in the first attempted soft-landing by a UNITED STATES Spacecraft. It's so precisely completed, it comes down on target after a quarter-of-a-million-mile, 63 hour journey, which defies the imagination. It sends to earth live TV pictures, snapping itself in one; showing a Moon rock and pebbles in another. The world applauds the American Moon touchdown!!! INDIANAPOLIS "500" CLASSIC London driver, Graham Hill, wins the 1966 Indianapolis Classic "500" mile auto race, at Indianapolis Speedway. Fourteen cars smash up in a chain-reaction pileup, ten seconds after the start. Only seven cars finish the race. Jim Clark, Scotland, is second, while Jim McElreath of Arlington, Texas, is third. 225,000 racing fans watched it all.
