Oren Nix from Washington, DC:
“I’m the director of the United States program…to send scientific
instruments to the moon”
On January 26, Ranger 3 had been launched
from Cape Canaveral with the goal of impacting on the moon’s surface and
relaying information back to Earth. When
the guidance system failed soon after launch, the spacecraft ended up missing
the moon by more than 20,000 miles.
There would be several more systemic failures in the Ranger program
until Ranger 7 successfully returned images from the moon in January 1964. Two more successful Ranger missions would
follow. Nix brings a model of the
spacecraft and describes how it should have worked.
Mr. Ronald Paul Schneider from Louisville, Kentucky: “My wife is
backstage” and Mrs. Ronald Paul Schneider from Louisville: “My husband is
backstage”
Wacky matrimony. On Saturday, just two
days earlier, Judith Peake and Evelyn Ann Mudd each married different men named
Ronald Paul Schneider. The women had
been childhood friends but hadn’t spoken in a while before one saw the other’s
wedding announcement in the newspaper and marveled at the coincidence. The coincidences didn’t end there. They married in the same church, they both
bought their wedding gowns at the same store, and both hired the same
photographer to take pictures.
Special guest Michel de la Vega returns to perform the same “substitution trunk” magic trick he performed a
month earlier (E463), this time with a random audience member observing on
stage. Garry notes the overwhelming
audience response to the first performance as the reason for duplicating the
segment so quickly. The magician would
return a third time two weeks later (
E472
) with a new trick.
