conked out. Bean fiddled with it; he reported all the settings were where they were supposed to be. There was still no picture but an uneven greyish lump, like a mountain, and a streak of white. Bean and Conrad left the camera to go about more important business. Walter Cronkite felt it was catastrophic, later softened the word to disappointing.

Frank McGee said it was disappointing but NBC immediately shifted to simulation of the moon walkers. Frank Reynolds complained there'd been trouble with the camera before Apollo 12 left earth and wondered why a "back-up black-and-white camera" had not been included in the mission. There was hope repairs could be made to the camera before the second moon walk Wednesday night, but these were slim. Not Quite the Same So there was no repetition of those ghostly figures a distant planet brought live to TV screens that so thrilled mankind last July. TV offered slews of scientists and experts and involved explanations and ornate simulationsbut it was not thet same thing.

It was not men walking the moon and you there with them. Not that there could be quite the same excitement, the same fervor Apollo 11 spawned. Cronkite didn't say "Oh, boy!" once. But Apollo 12 has ridden into the skies in uncertainty and peril from its launching and there was assurance in seeing the men there not just hearing them. The camera failure was doubly disappointing to those who sat out the long vigil from the spectacular landing of Intrepid at 10:55 p.m.

Tuesday until the moon walk began in the dawning hours I began to resent the indefatiguable Cronkite. He seemed so fresh and undaunted through the long night. McGee and Reynolds took off, presumably to nap, while the NBC and ABC networks returned after the Intrepid landing to business as usual Johnny Carson and Joey Bishop plus on KNBCran ancient movie with John Carradine as a mad scientist they must have found in an unemptied wastebasket. But Cronkite and Wally Schirra stuck to their guns and generally I stuck with them. In the early morning hours, CBS offered some really-extraordinary films from Russia, made five years ago," forecasting what would happen when Russians reached the moon.

The Soviet, as Cronkite pointed out, has since scrubbed its moori program. But these "official" films of the future dealt with early exploration of the lunar surface, the discovery of oil and precious metals there, the building of underground dwellings, then cities and vast laboratories and factories linked by high-speed monorail trains, and finally the birth of the first child on the moon. Fascinating Fantasy Fantasy, perhaps, but fascinating. I brought back the memory of Ray Bradbury's stirring pronouncement after Apollo 11 that the conquest of space makes man immortal, that if this planet is destroyed man can move to another and human life continue. Forecasting via.

fiction is not so foolish. Man walked the moon in science fiction a generation ago. There was fascinating medical story recently on The Bold Ones in which the diseased heart was removed from an aging lawyer (Howard Duff) and replaced by an artificial heart until a donor for a transplant could be found. This forecasts an era doctors envision in which an artificial machine can be used while your sick heart is sent out for repairs, like the carburetor of your car and eventually you get your own repaired heart back again. Incidentally, next Sunday's Bold Ones deals with the attempts of a surgeon on earth to save the life of an astronaut stricken while orbiting the moon.
