In Havana, wnere the Voice of America broadcast went un-jammed, one Cuban industrial worker, Luis Sosacotilla, 43, said: "Their experiment does nothing to benefit humanity." He said the money should have been used to wipe out poverty and misery in the United States, a reflection of the government view on Apollo.

"I'm just speechless with amazement," Lovell said. "There is nothing more I can say than that it is absolutely fantastic, One can scarcely believe it is taking place as one sees it." Crowds in front of TV screens at Paris sidewalk cafes and bars in Rome cheered as Armstrong same again. Now the moon is real, and lovers won't have it for themselves alone anymore."

"The evening has been unbelievably perfect," Mrs.

Neil Armstrong said today after watching the moon explorations of her husband and Edwin E. Aldrin Jr, "It is an honor and privilege to share with my husband the crew, the Manned Spacecraft Center, the American public and all of mankind this magnificent experience of the beginning of lunar exploration." Earlier, Mrs. Armstrong expressed her feelings much more simply. "I was tremendously excited," she said. "It was hard to think it was real until the men actually moved," said Mrs.

Aldrin. "I felt I was looking at another simulation." After the moon touchdown Mrs. Aldrin said she wept "because I was so happy." "I thought it was fantastically marvelous," said Mrs. Michael Collins, whose husband flew a moon orbit in the command capsule while the two other crewmen visited the lunar surface. "Don't you think he is with them there in spirit?" Mrs.

Collins replied when asked if her husband was disappointed because he was not in the landing party. All Apollo families planned to sleep late today before the next critical phase, blastoff from the moon. Tuesday night, if everything goes right, the three wives will be honored at a pre-splashdown party given by astronaut Bill Anders. "The splashdown will be the best part of the flight," Mrs. Aldrin said Sunday at a news conference.

And Mrs. Armstrong did not consider the moon landing the greatest moment of her life. "That was when we were married," she said. The astronauts' children shared in Sunday's excitement, and in the praise of their fathers. "It was pretty exciting," said 12-year-old Ricky Armstrong.

"I'm prould of daddy." "It was very exciting," said 11-year-old Andy Aldrin. Had Andy any ambitions to become an astronaut?

Two Apollo 11 astronauts left behind one of the most expensive junk yards in the universe when they lifted off from the moon today. They discarded almost $1 million worth of cameras, tools and breathing equipment up there. The cameras included the black and white television camera that captured their moon walk for the world.

This camera cost the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Also in the litter a Kodak worth $50,000 and a Hasselblad camera that cost $11,176. After returning to the moon lander's cabin, the astronauts opened the hatch and dumped the back packs which kept them alive during their walk. Each of these units, called the Portable Life Support System, cost NASA $300,000. Moon tools designed especially for the astronauts added to the junk pile. Tongs scoop, a long-handled hammer, an extension handle and other items were dropped when the spacemen were through with them.

"America must go on to greater conquests in the heavens," he said in a CBS television interview. The vice president's suggestion last week that Mars should be the next space goal drew mixed reaction.
